What's the year or model number for your 40hp? It makes a lot of difference.

Look on the control box and see if you have a electrical plug under the key. If you do buy an OMC tach harness and you will be set to install.

That's true of some models. But there are lots of 40hp Evinrudes that have no such plug. That's why we need the year or model. In some cases, something like a tiny tach will be needed.
