Replaced the tach cause I thought it was bad on my Whaler 115 OB. The needle stays aroing 900 rpm when off-when starting it goes to 0 them up to about 900 rpm. When I give it some throttle is pegs back down to 0 rpm. Shut key off it goes back to about 900 rpm. What can be causing this.

I fixed the problem-I had a bad regulator/rectifier. Ordered a new one, installed it and all is fine now.
I thought some one had some knowledge about this problem.
