Aftermarket Tach for a Yamaha F60LB

[OtterRidge]

I have replaced my 98 Mercury 60 hp ELPTO with a Yamaha F60LB and would like to replace the tachometer which was a Mercury and has quite working some time ago. I was wondering if there is a decent aftermarket round tach that shows the RPM and hours that won't break the bank.

What is the size of the bank?

A couple steps down from Berkshire-Hathaway!

this is a B.O.A.T. you are dealing with after all, so break out another thousand.

might try finding a used or refurbished Yamaha one

Well a new Yamaha on Amazon looks to run around $200-$250 but some of the aftermarkets are from $35-$90 just wondering if they would work just as well without the Yamaha name? Thought maybe someone on the forum might of used a aftermarket in place of a Yamaha at some time.

I've used aftermarket tachometers before with mixed results. I'd recommend buying a mid-priced one. Make sure it is intended for 2-stroke if that's what you have and works for the number of cylinders you have - I'm guessing 3. I prefer a digital and lighted. Digital is much easier to see.
