Tachometer recommendation

[harmanoff]

I’m wanting to put a tech on my jon boat. The motor is a 2002 Mercury 60hp Bigfoot. Any suggestions? Don’t wanna spend a lot but I get that I may have to spend some if ya know what I mean

Is it a remote center console or a tiller steering motor ?

Remote center console.

Remote center console.

If don't want a fancy dial tach which costs way more, a nice alternative would be an induction tach with extended pick up cable.. What's the distance from the motor to the center console ?

Roughly 7 feet from where I’d mount the tach and follow the edge of the boat to the motor

My choice woud be a decent anaog unit with the pigtail to plug into yourcontrol box. Installation would be a breeze. If it is a one time use to set up for a different prop then you could get by with a cheapo digital read out induction type. An analog tach is easier to monitor and would set you back about a hundred bucks or slightly more complete with everything.

I have the pig tail from the previous boat the motor was on. So that will make it super easy of course. Thanks
