    VDO

    VDO marine gauges, tachometers and senders for monitoring engine and vessel systems.

    Explore VDO instrumentation for the helm and engine room, from tachometers and temperature, pressure and fuel-level gauges to compatible senders, sensors and installation accessories. The right combination depends on your vessel's voltage, mounting space and the signal range of each sender. Review the specifications for the individual model before selecting components for a marine installation.

    Choose gauges and senders together

    When replacing a marine gauge or fitting a new instrument, check the vessel's system voltage, mounting diameter, measurement range, and the sender's electrical range. A gauge and sender must be compatible with each other; do not assume an existing sender will match a new display.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does VDO Instruments make?

    VDO offers gauges and instrumentation, fluid-level senders, sensors, service parts, adapters and fittings. Its catalog includes tachometers and instruments for monitoring temperature, pressure and fuel level.

    Will a VDO gauge work with my existing sender?

    Not necessarily. Compare the gauge's specified sender type and resistance or signal range with the installed sender, along with system voltage and wiring. Matching the dial alone does not establish electrical compatibility.

    How do I choose a replacement VDO marine gauge?

    Start with the measurement being monitored, electrical system voltage, sender specification, instrument cutout and mounting depth. Confirm that the specific model is suitable for your vessel and installation environment.
