hello everyone. first off my tach on my 1997 monark sunspa 200 pontoon / 1997 60hp mariner bigfoot didnt work. i needed to see my rpms as i think my prop is oversized. i bought a new gauge set and installed. after install the tach registered and moved unlike the old one, the trim gauge was still in the full up position even with the new gauge. first the trim gauge. i traced the sender wire back and found 3 splices, removed them and soldered new connections and still no gauge operation. ended up finding bad ground and got it working, but at full up putting trim down, the gauge only goes to half when the motor is full down. if i remove the sender and operate by hand the gauge moves complete? any ideas?

as far as the tach, after install just got it on the water sunday, tach registered only part time and other times it was all over the place, generally reading very high. not sure if there is an adjustment or if i have another issue?

any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance
