Does anyone know if I could wire an in dash tach for a 1992 15HP evinrude? I do have a charging system on it but it's pull start.
I heard that you may be able to connect to the yellow wire on the stator?
thanks for any input.

Does the motor have tilt/trim ? or are you trying to prop it ? If not you really dont need a tach for a small motor.

no tilt or trim. Yes.. I'm trying to prop it. It is possible with a standard tach (not minitach).
Just need wiring instructions if possible.
thanks, BB>

Of course you can use a regular alternator driven tach on it (the industry standard). Connect to one of the yellow wires and ground. You will also need a 12V battery to power it. I believe it is 5 pulses per rev (10 pole).
