Suspect Tach reading low. I have Tach / Dwell Tester from the age of distributor ignitions. Question: Can this tester be connected to the grey (Tach) wire at the accessory outlet at the throttle control box with the tester in the Tach position of course? Other RPM factors under control. Just this question for now please.

Marine tachs are adjusted to count the pulses coming from the charging system, not from the spark of the ignition.
