Have a 98' Merc 25hp, 2-stroke with charging system (electric start) and Quicksilver Commander 2000 series side mount control box, with the little tach harness sticking out the back.
Question is: What tach do I need? I know I need one made for a outboard, but how many poles do I have? 6, 12, 20? Found some tachs on Greatlakesskipper.com for really cheap, would be nice not to have to buy one for like $90. They also have the harness from the tach to the control box for $20. When I do get one, what setting do I need to set the tach to? If I get the info, I will buy the gauge/harness and document the install and post it on here. I am also installing a water temp gauge and installing a sending unit on the head. Thanks for any help.
