Use the stock amplifier though, it outputs 12v pulses, should make it easy to drive an aftermarket tach.

Buy a VDO that runs from the alternator, I've run them with no problems.

Choose a tach you'd like to use and get the docs. From that we can determine if it will work.... Yes. Is this going to be a freshwater or saltwater boat? Does your engine have the pickup coil and bracket installed already? Is the cable and connector on the pickup intact?

My only thing against the VDO is that it is an external mount ... I have used one of them on a snowcat with a cummins. They work well but in the boat i want to mount the gauge in the dash.

I'm not aware of an external mount tach, mine have always been mounted in a standard hole in the dash.

Tiny Tach for Diesel engines...
Hi -
I needed a tach for my 1980 300TD - found and installed this one from Tiny Tach - http://tinytach.com/tinytach/diesel.php It has a little piezo which bolts to any of your 5 fuel injector lines. Mounted the display on the center of my instrument cluster (just abouve the stearing column. It's got a backlit display and also counts hours. Good luck ! Jeromie |
