Any other gauges? Each of them, except the speedometer, should have both a battery negative (black is standard) and switched battery positive (could be one of several colors). Connect the tach to the corresponding terminals on t?e closest gauge.

Look just below the ignition switch on the throttle/shift control box. There should be a three pin connector there. +12 volts with key on, ground, and send. I think you can buy the connecting cable right here on IBoats, or if you have an imagination, you can make your own harness with terminal pins from Radio Shack..
