Sierra 63478P Sterling Voltmeter, 2 Inch Dial, 8-18 Vdc
The Sierra 63478P Sterling Voltmeter is a 2 inch dial gauge built to monitor system voltage from 8 to 18 Vdc aboard boats using 12-volt electrical systems. It is part of Sierra's Sterling line of instrumentation, designed to match other Sterling series gauges such as tachometers, speedometers, fuel gauges, water temperature gauges, oil pressure gauges, and hourmeters for a coordinated helm layout. The gauge face carries a scratch resistant finish to hold up to years of sun exposure and routine wipe-downs at the helm, and the housing is constructed of stainless steel for corrosion resistance in the marine environment.
As a voltmeter, the 63478P gives boaters a continuous readout of battery and charging system health, helping catch a failing alternator, a weak battery, or a wiring issue before it leaves you stranded. Its 2 inch size makes it a straightforward swap into existing 2 inch gauge panel cutouts, and it pairs with Sierra's outboard and sterndrive instrument kits, which are offered separately for tachometer, speedometer, fuel, water temperature, and oil pressure functions. This voltmeter ships as a single gauge, ready to wire into a standard 12-volt marine electrical system.
