Sierra Speedometer Pitot Tube
Sierra Speedometer Pitot Tubes: Precision Speed Sensing on the Water
When you're piloting a powerboat, knowing your speed accurately isn't just about performance — it's about safety. The speedometer pitot tube is the unsung hero behind every reliable speed reading on the water, translating hull-generated water pressure into the real-time data your gauge displays. Sierra has established itself as one of the most trusted names in marine instrumentation components, and their speedometer pitot tubes are a prime example of why boaters and marine technicians reach for the Sierra catalog first.
What Sierra Brings to Speedometer Pitot Tubes
Sierra Marine products are engineered to surpass today's high-horsepower engine demands and stand up to the harsh marine environment, with all products meeting or exceeding the original equipment part they replace. That commitment to OEM-equivalent (and often OEM-exceeding) quality is especially meaningful in a component like a pitot tube, which must perform reliably through spray, vibration, and constant water exposure.
Sierra Marine speedometer kick-up pitot tubes are designed for 30 to 80 mph speedometers and feature an automatic kick-up mechanism along with a unique slotted design that replaces most other brands without drilling. That no-drill, slotted mounting approach makes Sierra pitot tubes a practical choice for both replacements and fresh installations alike — minimizing hull modification and installation time.
The Sierra Marine universal replacement pitot reads a constant, steady water pressure ensuring accurate speedometer readings up to 80 mph, and is designed for slotted mounting plates, making it ideal as a replacement pitot or for use with a new speedometer.
Two Standout Products for Boaters
Sierra's pitot tube lineup includes two key offerings that cover the broadest range of powerboat applications. The Sierra 56973P is a universal pitot tube compatible with 30–80 mph speedometers, providing a steady, consistent pressure signal for gauge accuracy. The Sierra 59677P is a universal speedometer pick-up pitot tube — another drop-in-ready option designed to fit a wide variety of hull mounting plates with minimal fuss. Together, these two products address the most common replacement and new-installation scenarios boaters encounter.
