Hi, first post here so be gentle. Trying to put a tach on my 2014 Tracker Grizzly 1648 MVX SC w/ 30hp Merc 4 stroke. Bass Pro where I bought it (Mesa AZ) is "98% sure there is wiring in place to plug into but would like to know before ordering tach in case I need a wiring harness. Need a tach to find out what RPM the motor is topping out at to decide if I need a new prop with more or less pitch. It is an 11 pitch now but at 5600 ft altitude it won't plane out with about 300 lbs on board (including porky here). Tried distributing cargo not much help. Doesn't feel like the motor is in the sweet spot but I come from 2-strokes so maybe I'm not experienced enough to tell, hence the tachometer question. Maybe I'm asking too much to have a 30hp plane this thing at this altitude? Any help appreciated. I know I probably didn't post this correctly. I"ll tell you later how I almost sunk this boat last week!
