VDO OceanLink 3-3/8" (85mm) NMEA 2000 Tachometer – 5000 RPM – Black Dial & Bezel – A2C1065720001

Upgrade your boat’s dashboard with the VDO OceanLink 3-3/8" (85mm) NMEA 2000 Tachometer (A2C1065720001), a high-performance marine gauge designed to deliver accurate engine RPM readings and advanced engine monitoring. Built by Veratron (VDO Marine), this tachometer combines a traditional analog RPM needle with a modern digital display, providing boaters with clear, real-time engine information in one compact instrument.

Designed for NMEA 2000 and SAE J1939 networks, the OceanLink tachometer integrates seamlessly with modern marine engines and onboard electronics. The easy-to-read 0–5000 RPM scale allows quick monitoring of engine speed, while the built-in LCD multifunction display provides additional data such as engine hours, oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel rate, and system voltage.

The OceanLink tachometer also serves as the central gauge within the OceanLink system, capable of supporting up to 16 satellite gauges via EasyLink connectivity. This allows boat owners to build a complete and fully integrated instrument panel with minimal wiring and simplified installation.

Constructed with marine-grade materials, this tachometer is designed to withstand harsh marine environments. The black dial and black bezel provide a clean, modern look that complements most helm designs, while the IP-rated waterproof construction and anti-fog lens ensure long-term reliability on the water.

With its standard 3-3/8 inch (85 mm) mounting size, the VDO OceanLink tachometer is ideal for new installations or upgrading older analog gauges on fishing boats, cruisers, center consoles, and commercial vessels.

Key Features & Performance

This tachometer is engineered for extreme durability and clear data visualization in open-cockpit environments.

• NMEA 2000 Gateway: This gauge acts as a hub, capable of displaying a wide range of data from the NMEA 2000 network, including fuel level, oil pressure, water temperature, and engine hours on its digital screen.

• Optically Bonded Display: The 1.4-inch inverted dot-matrix display is optically bonded to the lens, which eliminates fogging and ensures the screen remains readable even in direct sunlight.

• Dual-Layer Lens: Features a double-layer anti-fog plastic lens for maximum clarity in humid maritime conditions.

• Protection Rating: Rated IP67, meaning it is completely dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for exposed dashboards.
