I am planning to replace the tach gauge on my boat. I know that I need a gauge with a 12 pole setting with connections for 12v, send, and ground. However, I see that there are gauges that read up to 6K rpm and other gauges that go up to 7K rpm.
Is one gauge intended for outboards while the other one is intended for inboards? Is there any reason to choose a 7K gauge vs. a 6K gauge? The WOT range for my motor is 5,000 to 5,600 rpm, so I intuitively guess that either one would work OK.

Thanks for any advice.
