I just bought a 96 CC ski nautique. Ive had it out a few times now and noticed that the tach seems to not work correctly. Ive had the boat at 32mph and seen the tach read 3200, 4000, and 5000 rpms all at that same speed on calm water. Also when I go from speed down to idle...the tach seems to "Bounce" from 1 to 3 thousand rpms up and down for a few seconds. Any advice on what may be wrong with the tach and how to fix it?
Thanks....Paul |

Look for a loose connection or bad ground.

Just in case someone googles this old thread, the cause of this problem on my 96 GT40 was the switch on the back of the tach selects 2 cyl, 4cyl, 6 cyl and 8 cyl.
Move the switch back and forth a few times and set it to 8. Your problem will be solved. |

+1 Exercising the tach switch will often yield good results. Check wiring for loose connections. |
