Re: Tachometer question
Water in your key switch can cause this, does your boat stay outside or have you recently washed it. moister inside the switch can cause it to have a low voltage short

Re: Tachometer question
That is probably it.
So just let it dry out?

Re: Tachometer question
Yes sir,just let it dry out. It is such a low voltage it won't hurt anything.
