Sierra 82303P Diesel Magnetic Pickup Tachometer, 3 Inch, 0-3500 RPM, 90-180 Teeth
The Sierra 82303P is a 3 inch electric tachometer built for diesel engines using a magnetic pickup sender. It reads engine speed across a 0-3500 RPM range and is designed to work with magnetic pickup senders in the 90-180 teeth range, matching the tooth count of the diesel flywheel or drive plate it is paired with. As a magnetic pickup tachometer, the 82303P reads engine RPM directly from the pulses generated by the pickup sender rather than from an alternator or points signal, which makes it suited to diesel powerplants that do not generate a standard tach signal on their own.
The gauge is built into a 3 inch housing sized to match standard helm gauge cutouts, so it drops into existing diesel-tach openings without modification. It is intended for use on diesel-powered boats where the helm calls for direct, panel-mounted RPM readout paired with a compatible magnetic pickup sender.
