Took the boat out Sunday, and it ran great. However, I noticed My tach wasnt working, nor was my battery voltage coming up any. I ordered a new rectifier from iboats. Installed the new rectifier tonight, and plugged my tach back into the control box. I noticed I had no power to the gauge (lights, or needle zeroing out) when I turned the key to accessory. Turning the motor over, the light dimly lit, and the gauge zero'ed out, but thats all. Hooked the tach directly to the battery, and the signal wire directly to the grey terminal on the engine, and it worked perfectly. I hooked up the old, non functioning rectifier back up, and plugged the tach back into the control box, and it lit up and zero'd out on the accessory key. Still no tach signal though.
Is this likely a new rectifier issue, or an electrical issue in my control box that isnt showing itself until a properly functioning rectifier is installed?
