    Hi, Trying to connect a tach to a 1978 35hp Evinrude and need to know where to pick up the pulse signal from on the engine. I have an OMC control but the 3 prong connector had been cut inside and the control cable to the motor has a black plug with 5 wires and not the red plug. So I have no...

    Another bad ebay deal

    A few weeks ago I won a SS prop on ebay. Was supposed to be a 10.5x11 in good usable condition "with one small nick" When I received it and opened it up I was disgusted to say the least.

    Another tach newbie

    Have a Faria TC9864 model tach that I picked up and was told it will work on my 1978 Evinrude 35hp. Problem is I can't figure out how to wire it and set it up. The Faria web site wasn't much help. It has 3 poles; SIG, GRD and BAT. along with a terminal for a light. The grd and bat are obvious...

    I have just changed from the Old style control with 2 levers to a New style control with the single lever. The cables were to short on the new style one and replaced them with the correct length cables. The old cables had the spring/pin on the shift and the throttle had the clip retainer. The...

    ID a Johnson 25hp

    Can't seem to find this one anywhere. Clamp ID tag reads E4240178 code# 25FL34. The motor cover looks like a 1975 but I know that means nothing as it could have been changed. Thanks!
