Tachomoter for Evinrude 1985 175 HP?

[torquewrench]

I need Tach for my 175HP Evinrude. Is there a specific tach for this outboard? Will a Tach from AutoZone work?

Not familiar with what Autozone has.

The tachometer operates off of the engine's six (6) pulse charging system so you need a tach that will operate off of this type charging system. The tach will have a dial on the back of it... set it to number six (6).

An automotive tach won't work. You need one for a 2 s outboard. Iboats and others have them.
