wiring diagram for my boat tachometer

[harry513@msn.com]

I AM TRYING TO HOOK UP MY WIRES BACKUP TO MY TACH WHICH IS IN MY BOAT. THERE ARE FIVE WIRES TOTAL THAT ARE COMING FROM THE HARNESS FROM MY THROTTLE CONTROL. THE COLOR OF THE WIRES ARE AS FOLLOWS:<br />(PURPLE) (GRAY) (BROWN W/WHITE STRIPE) (BLACK) (LIGHT BROWN)<br /><br />NOW ON THE TACHOMETER THERE ARE 4 TERMINALS, 2 OF WHICH I CAN IDENTIFY; ONE IS "IGN" AND THE OTHER IS "SEND". THE OTHER TWO TERMINALS I CAN'T IDENTIFY. ALSO ON THE TACHOMETER, THERE IS A BLUE WIRE THAT IS ALREADY CONNECTED TO THE "IGN" TERMINAL AND TO ONE OF THE TERMINALS THAT I CANNOT IDENTIFY. LOOKING AT THE BACK OF THE TACHOMETER, THE "IGN" AND "SEND" TERMINALS ARE SIDE BY SIDE; ALSO THERE IS A TERMINAL(WHICH I CAN'T IDENTIFY) IS LOCATED ABOVE

You need to post this in the "BOATS" forum. Use the drop down menu at the bottom of the page to select the forum, hit go. Once there, post a new topic.<br /><br />Since I don't know what make/model you are working on, I will direct you to this link.<br />The right hand column has installation instructions for various guages.<br /><br /> http://www.tflx.com/tech.html <br /><br />If you still have questions, post in the boat forum.<br />Good Luck.
