Kysor Medallion Tachometer Trouble

[NurseNate]

My 1989 Four Winns Sundowner 225 has an older Kysor Medallion Tach that isn't working. Due to the way that it fits behind a big piece of glass/plastic...it needs to fit flush again the dash. This makes it almost impossible to put another brand in there. Does anyone know of someone or have any recommendations on where I can get it rebuilt? I called/emailed 20 junk yards across the country...no one has an older working one sitting around. I have heard that there is no Kysor around anymore...but Medallion in Michigan might be able to rebuild it?

Re: Kysor Medallion Tachometer Trouble

Don't understand the issue. I cannot believe this boat was designed around a specific tachometer. Many boats have a smoked plexiglass shield over the instruments. There is ample space between the shield and the face of the instruments to install any tachometer I'm aware of. How about some pictures to show us what you are dealing with. Current tachs slip into the hole from the front and are secured to the helm by a "U-shaped" retainer at the back that draws the instrument tightly into place.

And you might make sure the tach is actually bad before spending bucks to have it fixed.
