Ha yes it's getting close to that stage. Have to change focus... might give the Aldi middle aisle look tomorrow for things I don't need as a distraction.

Someone on PM mentioned my tach the other day so thought I'd just update. As posted above once I'd tested the boat and our load with my alternative props I had no need to see the revs under way so...

Jeff I have the prop sorted as you know so I've really no need to see the revs unless I have some major change to sort out. So yes just an hour meter now. As a matter of interest in 10hrs it over...

After the case/mount splitting as mentioned in post #27 I've made up a backing plate (from a bit cut off a nylon chopping board) bolted to the unit to make it more rigid and re-sealed the case. We'll...

Annoyingly after just one run out under the hood as in post #25 above the backplate of this tach broke. It was OK under the hood but exposed to water it would be full up and trashed by now. So I'll...

Well the small tach has done its job in prop sizing plus just one more trip and it's measured the running in revs/hours.

Despite it being "waterproof" I noticed a hint of mist on the inside of...

OK so outboard arrived and hooked up the tach. Earth wire to an unused tapping on the engine and the pulse wire 5x round one plug lead. Tach on setting as it arrived and the idle was correctly shown...

Ohh only lasted season and a half... that's upped my yearly tach costs!

The tiller looks the ideal place where it will be a little exposed so I'll take note of your experiences and give it extra...

I see the last one linked has a replaceable battery which appeals... but another water ingress source.

If I just wanted it for hours run display I'd mount it under the hood... but I guess it might...

Ahh that's good Max. Just noticed the gen Tiny Tach has a coax signal lead with a ground wire to stop interference upsetting the readout. That makes sense and may be worth the extra alone.... but the...

Following on from this thread wonder if anyone has opinions on the best Tiny Tach type device to show outboard revs and log hours run? Prefer cheap/disposable if/when it breaks.
