Performance & Practical Benefits

This tach keeps things simple — accurate RPM readings, clean design, and quick response. It’s great for single-engine rigs or twin setups that don’t need the extra flash. The no-logo face blends with any dash, while SmartTow helps you dial in launches or towing speeds. Pair it with other SC1000 gauges for a sharp, balanced look across your helm.

Why Buy OEM
