Gauge wiring

[albaris]

I bought a 1975 Checkmate w/ a 135 HP Johnson. The previous owner decided to disconnect the tachometer, gas gauge and speedometer. He coiled up all the wires under the dash, and now I have no idea where they are supposed to be connected to.<br />Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br /><br />------------------<br />Al Baris<br />Clyde, NY

Re: Gauge wiring

well i would say the tach wire goes to the coil and gas gauge to the tank and there should be a transducer for the speed on the rear of the boat <br />correct me if im wrong guys <br />i hope this helps ya <br />oh yeah get a test lite that helps too

Re: Gauge wiring

It sounds like this guy replaced the engine,so many of the old transducers and senders wont be compatable. But, you could probably get the info on the engine from it's shop manual, and re-wire it.<br />Tachs are pretty much interchangeable,as are speedos.
