I have a 2001 Maxum 1800sr with Mercruiser 3.0
The tachometer stopped working. When the boat was being serviced, I asked the mechanic to check it. He told me that he pluged in another guage and it worked so he suggested that I order a new guage and fit it myself.
The original Faria guage had part number TC9237A. This is no longer available so I got what I think is an equivalent (just without the hour meter). Part number for the new one is TC9653A.
I fitted the guage this evening and I have a problem.
First off the connections are all in the same place as the previous guage and the little rotary switch is in position 1 (4 CYL).
Now the problem: When I turn the key, the needle starts to slowly rise. When I start the engine the needle points directly down.
I have no idea what the problem is. Does anyone have any advice?
Here is a link to a video which I uploaded which shows the needle rising when the key is turned (without starting the engine):
