Sierra Pitot Tubes & Accessories: Precision Speed Sensing for Your Boat
When it comes to keeping your boat's speedometer accurate on the water, the pitot tube is the unsung hero of the instrument system. A small but critical component, the pitot tube mounts on the transom beneath the waterline and uses water pressure to feed your speed gauge a real-time reading. Sierra — one of the marine industry's most trusted aftermarket parts brands — brings its decades of engineering expertise to its line of pitot tubes and accessories, offering boaters dependable, precision-built solutions for speed measurement.
Why Sierra Stands Out in Pitot Tubes
Sierra has earned its reputation over nearly six decades as a leading global manufacturer of marine aftermarket parts. With a catalog of parts engineered to meet or exceed OEM standards, Sierra applies that same commitment to quality in its pitot tube lineup. A standout feature across Sierra's pitot tube products is the automatic kick-up design — if the tube strikes debris, weeds, or the bottom, it kicks up to prevent transom damage and then resets, protecting both the tube and your hull. This alone makes Sierra pitots a smarter choice over basic fixed-mount alternatives.
Sierra's universal pitot tubes — including popular models like the 56973P and the bulk-pack 59677P (Pail O' Pitots) — feature a cleverly offset, slotted mounting plate that replaces competing brands such as Medallion, OMC, Mercury, and Faria pitot tubes without the need to drill new holes. This universal compatibility means less time on the dock and more time on the water. The tubes are designed for pressure-driven speedometers rated for 30 to 80 MPH, making them suitable for the vast majority of recreational powerboats.
A Complete Pitot System Solution
Sierra's pitot accessories round out the full system. Their speedometer pitot tubing — available by the foot or in convenient pre-cut rolls — is a small-diameter vinyl tubing designed specifically for powerboat speedometers, ensuring consistent pressure delivery from the transom to the gauge. Whether you're replacing a cracked tube, refreshing an aging instrument system, or setting up a new speedometer installation, Sierra provides the components needed for a clean and reliable setup.
Sierra's pitot products also feature a weedless design that minimizes fouling in vegetation-heavy waters, helping maintain accurate, uninterrupted speed readings even in challenging conditions. Combined with Sierra's industry-leading warranty — which covers not just the part itself but also related shop labor and incidental charges — these products represent a compelling value for any boater serious about maintaining a reliable instrument system.
