Re: No voltmeter/ No tachometer
You have both a rectifier (takes an AC voltage from the stator and converts it to a form of DC voltage) and a regulator (takes higher input voltages from rectifier and provides constant 12VDC output) If you had a tach installed and working previously, then it is probably the rectifier that is shot. Here are a few links for on-line sources. Your local Merc/Mariner dealer can get these as well.<br /><br />If you have just installed the tach then you need to check continuity from the rectifier terminal to the tach signal terminal.<br /><br /> http://www.sierramarine.com <br /><br /> http://www.dougrussell.com/partscatalog/index.cfm <br /><br /> http://www.mercruiserparts.com/SelectProductLine.asp <br /><br /> http://www.mercurypartsexpress.com/PartsExpress/HomePage/homepage.asp
