tach

After who knows how long this tach has given good service she has decided to go silent. She is housed in a Universal Captain's panel and has 4 wire posts on the backside. Does anyone know a good replacement for this old dog? Tim

My original tach (1988) E-28 Universal M10) got fried last year in a lightening strike. Last winter, I went to the local used marine parts facility in Quincy Ma. Found a similar 4000 RPM tach, put power to it, it went to 0000 rpm and seemed OK. Put it in last winter. When I start the boat it...

I've made posts before about my erratically acting tach. But since then it was behaving itself but now, about a week or so ago it quit all together. So, I went on a search for that "one" loose or corroded connection. I checked and cleaned every connect at the tach. I checked and cleaned the...

Over the winter I rewired the panel to my M25XP according to instructions found here and now my tachometer is erratic. The needle is jumping around and as I throttle up the needle starts going down. I'm thinking that it has nothing to do with the wiring changes themselves but possibly a loose...

The tach for our Perkins stopped working during our cruise. The cable makes it look like a mechanical wire connection so I assume the wire is the problem. The hour meter also stopped working which makes me think it is a Hobbs meter rather than a straight hour meter ? Any suggestions for how...

My tach on my E32-III, which has a Universal 25XP engine, has started to act very strange. Only lately (or I've only started to notice this after owned the boat for 4 years) the tach will not work after I start the engine. But after I motor out for a sail I'll look down and see that it's...

My tachometer has suddenly started to act funny. When I start the engine the tach goes up to about 3,000 RPM, even though I'm probably at like 1,500. It eventually calms down after a couple of minutes and begins to read true. Any ideas on what might be causing this.

My 35-2 has what looks like the original engine starter panel in the helmsman's cockpit well on the starboard side. A tachometer is also in the well but it is mounted on the rear bulkhead facing forward (i.e., under the helsman's seat on the star. side). The tach is completely unreadable...

Out sailing and motoring today (because the wind just went away) and everything was working fine. Got back to the dock and was ready to shut down the engine when I noticed that both the tach and water temp gages were dead even though they were working just before we docked. Everything else was...

All, Yesterday on the way home from a fantastic four days on our boat at Isthmus Cove, Catalina Island the tach for my Yanmar 3GMF engine panel started developing St. Vitus Dance. That is to say that after settling on an engine speed, the needle would bob back and forth varying as much as two...

My tachometer stopped working the other day. So far, my troubleshooting hasn't revealed the cause, but I could troubleshoot much more efficiently if it was an old gas burner I was dealing with....its a Universal M25. The tach receives it's signal from the alternator. I recently upgraded my...

As is pretty obvious most of the time, I don't have a huge mechacanical base of knowledge--- so excuse if these are dumb questions: 1. My tachometer's range has diminished to the point that it's time to fix the issue. It starts out at about 800rpm and never goes above 1200 rpm- even when I...
