I need a tach for this motor. Would one of those tiny tachs be the way to go or is there another that will work for it that won't envolve countless hours of setup?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Brian

I would suggest the tiny tach.<br /><br />However, any marine tach is an easy set up.<br /><br />Go to the Teleflex home page and read up.

Re: 1973 85 horse Evinrude Needs Tach

I just installed a Teleflex on my 76 85HP Evinrude. No major problem. I opened the controls and found the gray wire which I extened to the sending connector on the back of the Tach. Since I already had the control open I grounded the Tach inside the control and ran a wire from the same bolt the purple warning horn wire was attached on the switch to my positive on the Tach. Its been working great. Forgive my terminology.<br /><br />-Nick
