tachometer
Want to mount a tach on my boat, currently does not have one. Was looking at model 6088 by equus, from O'Reilly. Online $80, in local store - $40.
Is their a difference from auto to marine TACHS? Or is a tach a tach?
Going on a 04 g3 1756 w/50hp Yamaha four stroke. Only gauge on the boat is fuel, which does not read correctly.
Any insight greatly appreciated.

Auto tachs and marine tachs are different and not interchangeable (outboards). Marine tachs must be set for the number of pulses received from the coils on the stator. The most common setting is 6P but that does vary some with the different motors and horse power. A 50 HP Yamaha (4 stroke) has 12 poles producing 6 pulses.

Quick follow up question as it seems like the right kind of place. I know the tach on my boat is set to the wrong number of pulses, but I have no idea what it should be set to. Is it easy enough to experiment with it? If anyone knows I have a 150 Mercury, inline six. I think they were called towers of power back in the day...

Tiny Tach is in Burr Ridge Illinois, right off interstate 55, between Lemont and Country Side.
