Barry,<br />On a standard Merc harness, the tach wire is in the connector on the motor end. But at the console the wire NORMALLY is gray for tach signal, black and yellow for 12v ignition and of course black for ground. This is all under the NORMAL factor Barry. As you proably already know many things on boats are not normal......LOL<br /><br /><br />Hitman
