Ok, since I have my boat a month or so, the Tach never worked, it appears to be a square factory tach matching the square speedometer, I just got a new 20pole tach from E-bay a smaller square one, that kinda matches, I noticed it's a Faria tach. Now the problem, when I took out my old tach there was a plug on it with 3 wires in a certain particular order, purple, grey, and black, the plug can only go on one way! When I looked at the back of the old tach, the purple was going to the "IGN" terminal. The black was going to the "GND" terminal, And the gray was going to the "SIG" terminal, The new tach is marked exactly the same way, So, is this the right order, or do I have to cut the plug apart, seperate the 3 wires and put them on different terminals? What is marked wrong here, Both the Faria tachs? or the original Bayliner factory plug wiring? As I understand it, Purple is SIGNAL, Black is GROUND, and Gray is POWER, or IGN. What's wrong with this picture?
