    Tube with 25hp on a 14' tinny

    I have a 16Ft Star Craft "V" hull with a Evinrude E40 (non tiller). Boat cruises at 28-30 MPH, in the Barnegat Bay (bit choppy). I'm thinking it will pull a tube, but possibly make the boat a bit unstable...

    1995 Evinrude E40ELEO RPMs

    I found that info on OEM tach instructions. Wasn’t sure if that would be the info I needed, but based on more research and trial/error it must be correct. VDO and my Yamaha tech gave me incorrect information.

    1995 Evinrude E40ELEO RPMs

    So, I decided to check the stator wires. There are (2). As per evinrude info, 6 pulse, 12 pole. Problem solved (?)

    1995 Evinrude E40ELEO RPMs

    Thanks. Saw that, probably the way I should have gone. The VDO was 1/4 the price, but you get what you pay for!

    1995 Evinrude E40ELEO RPMs

    I am my local shop! I bought this boat for myself, ordered the tach through my service dept. Hard to find OEM tachs, assumed VDO made a good product

    1995 Evinrude E40ELEO RPMs

    So I called VDO, no help there! They told me to try different settings. I asked, will another setting be correct? The instructions are definitely wrong. They had no idea. Waste of money!

    1995 Evinrude E40ELEO RPMs

    Idle sounds perfect. I do have some tech experience, mostly auto/MC. I agree WOT should only be around 6k max. I am leaning to the install sheet being incorrect. Going to try to call VDO. Tomorrow. Thanks

    1995 Evinrude E40ELEO RPMs

    I did on land, idle was about 1000rpm. I read conflicting info on that motor being a 12 pole, not a 10, and that Faria and other manufacturers had their instructions wrong

    1995 Evinrude E40ELEO RPMs

    Set on dip switch “4”, per the instructions for a 10 pole. I’m thinking it should be 12 pole??

    Hooking up tach on 1992 Evinrude 40hp

    mark42 said: With the electric start on a 40hp in 92, the motor was equiped with a 12 amp fully regulated alternator That is why I am confused!

    Hooking up tach on 1992 Evinrude 40hp

    Hello all. I have an Evinrude 2 cyl E40ELEO, with electric start, tilt and trim. My control box is an OMC with the option of plugging in the tachometer harness #0174732. I purchased a SEACHOICE VDO tachometer #50-15161 (VDO # 333-15275). Their instruction sheet says the alternator is a 10...
