What Tach. do I need?

[ebsworj]

Hi, I searched but didn't find the answer.<br /><br />My boat I just boat doesn't have a Tach. on it and I have a 1994 Force 120 on the back. Can I just buy the gauge or do I need to buy more stuff or a kit of somekind... I looked on ebay but dint' have enough info to get the right one.<br /><br />Thanks!

Any marine tach should work. Hit the web and look for "tiny tach."

Re: What Tach. do I need?

As already mentioned most marine tachs should work. Marine tachs have a selector switch on the back to match up to the specific motor it will be run on. See these links.<br /><br /> http://faria-instruments.com/site_manuals/IS0100D_9.pdf <br /><br />and<br /><br /> http://www.faria-instruments.com/index-new.html <br /><br />A tach connection wire usually exists at the throttle control box and can be connected directly to the tach signal terminal on the gauge. The gauge will also need +12VDC and Gnd. If your throttle control box does not already have a tach wire harness you may need to buy one.

If I do get the Tiny Tach.. which tach do i need? Their website is confusing!<br /><br />I really don't want a digital tach.<br /><br />What wire/wires am I looking for to know if my 94 bayliner 1800 capri w/ 120HP Force has the "tach harness" installed?<br /><br />Thanks
