Tryin to get my tach back in working order before i replace the prop and change size. I got 12V behind the tach so i thought it must be my rectifier. Before starting the boat the battery reads 12.5V, after running about 5-10 minutes the battery reads 13.5-14.0 volts, leaving the voltmeter hooked up and reving the engine the battery jumps to 14.5-14.7 volts. So I am assuming that the regulator/rectifier is still good. What now? The needle stays on 3k rpms. I have an old
80's auto tach. Can I hook that up just to see if there is some kind of signal so i know to buy a new tach?
Also I have my fuel gauge working, I know the sender is bad on the trim its on the way. But I need a detailed description on where the water inlet is on the speedo. I blow on the 90 degree fitting and the needle jumps. Pitot must be clogged but I dont know where to clean? The place I thought shoots water out when the motor is running. I cant find the pitot hole anywhere?
