    Question Will this type of tach work on 1987 50hp force

    Engine specs: 1987 50 hp force model #507X7B

    This tachometer came off a boat with a 4 cylinder "car style" motor i.e. inboard outboard. Will it work on my motor?

    Thanks for the quick reponse. It would have been nice to have the matching old school tach to go with the speedo, O' well, can't win them all.
