My tach has been acting funny lately. It started by jumping around, but would settle out after the engine would warm up. Now, it consistently reads a little high, and when at WOT, the needle is pegged all the way down (clockwise). The motor itself sounds fine. I've read that an erratic tach can idicate a regulator/rectifier issue. At idle, I checked the voltage with a handheld multimeter at the battery and it read 13.6V, a slight increase in the throttle position and the reading jumped up to 13.8V. Have yet to see what the voltage reads at WOT (need to bring the wife/buddy along for that one). Anyways, not sure what to make of a fully pegged tach at WOT..
For the record, this is a 98' Aquasport 175 Osprey. Also, for some reason, my fuel gauge isn't working (even with a brand new sender). It never has in the three years I've owned the boat.
I appreciate any help and/or your time.
