I picked up a set of gauges for my boat today at a great price. The person that had them really did not know any history on them other then they were run on an outboard before. For 10 bucks it is worth a chance. The only question I have is on the tachometer. The gauges say US marine on the front and Faria on the back. In trying to look the tach up (6000 RPM) all I see for a 6000 rpm tach is for in I/O. There site says that the 7000 RPM tachs are for the outboards. This appears to be an older tach. The only markings is a sticker that give the switch settings. I can only make out the last 2 choices setting 3 for 12 pole, setting 4 for 20 pole. I cant make out the first 2. It only gives 4 choices but the knob goes to six. My question is will this work on my mercury 80 hp 3 cyl. I was told my eng was a 12 pole setup. The ony other markings is a stamp that says CS245F. Thanks

It should work since it can be set for a 12 pole stator.
