Faria Beede Instruments Marine Gauges

Faria Beede marine gauges are installed as original equipment on boats from over 300 boat makers. This fact alone proves that they are not just another gauge manufacturer out there but the leading brand that guarantees the world-class quality of its products. Aside from serving the major names in the marine industry, Faria Beede Instruments, Inc. sets standards in many other sectors. It is an OEM which supplies products to such big names in the game as Caterpillar, International Harvester, Harley Davidson, and Polaris, just to name a few, and provides military instruments to the U.S. Government.

When the company came to be in the mid-1950s, it was set in the basement where Thomas G. Faria began building electronic tachometers for boats. Large-scale orders forced the business to move into a fourth floor factory loft, and already in 1962, Ford placed an order for Faria Beede tachometers to install on its cars, including the revered Mustang and Shelby Cobra. Increased production volumes dictated the need for a big facility. The company began operations in a factory located in Uncasville, Connecticut, where it is still headquartered today.

Whether it’s replacing old malfunctioning gauges or refreshing the look of your dash panel, you can’t do better than Faria Beede fuel gauges, speedometers, tachometers, and kits. Not only are these instruments durable and give you correct, clear readings, they’re also well-designed and stylish, with stainless steel, gold, or aluminum bezels, vivid faces, and bold graphics. Some of them offer the benefits of digital functionality and the look of analog instrumentation. Having a GPS speedometer on your vessel means you get the most accurate satellite-based readings. Faria Beede GPS speedometers feature a 48 channel GPS receiver and gather data from an internal antenna, so an external one is not needed. Faria Beede depth sounders are easy to install and work properly even at high speeds.
