Quicksilver Tachometer settings for Mariner

DavidStonehouse · #1 February 5th, 2005, 10:34 AM

Greetings from England.

I am not technically minded actually my family claim that I am just capable of changing a spark plug.

I own a 2003 25hp Mariner electric start. engine no. op257638 with remote controlls etc.

I have recently fitted a white faced quicksilver tachometer.To enable the unit to work and to set the switch on the rear of the unit I need to know the following:

1. The number of positive pulses per crank revolution.

2. The number of poles.

The switch settings on the rear of the tachometer are:

2p 3p 4p 5p 6p

4c 6c 8c

Can any one help me?

Regards, David.

Mercs typically set at 6P - would think Mariners would be the same.

Good luck!

Many thanks for your help erniex.I am sorry that I have taken so long to thank you this was due to

my computer having a will of its own and causing numerous problems.

Regards, David.
