Tachometer

[Riley1840]

Is there an easy way to hookup a tach? I have a 30 hp Nissan outboard built in 2007. I would like to set up a tach to know wot and cruise rpm. Boat is new to me as well as I’m new to boats don’t want to ruin engine running wrong rpm.

Sure, It is easy with a remote control engine and a dashboard.

First buy a tachometer that is compatible with your engine. Install it into the dashboard.
Second, most remote controls have pigtails or a plug that will supply +12VDC, ground and tach signal. Hook those the the tachometer.

Voila...

If it is a tiller model, you will need to look around for something made for that engine.

Sorry forgot to mention it is a remote. Thank you for the information sounds easy enough once I figure out which tach to get.
