Small shock from my steering wheel…

[v12mac]

I was out this weekend and released that I was getting a very mild shock though my steering wheel. At first I thought a jellyfish had stung me but when I let go of the wheel and grabbed it again I noticed it. <br />My tach also stopped working this weekend. Any Ideas?<br /><br />1986 Johnson 226 <br /><br />Mac

Mac.... That sounds like you developed a faulty ground somewhere. Could be a broken gound wire, a tight but dirty ground connection, something of that nature..... resulting in you being the ground area.<br /><br />To start with, I'd suggest that you disconnect the ground wire from the tachometer, then check that wire with a ohm meter to see if it is in fact still grounded to the engine etc.
