I went up to turn the boat around before the 4th and both tachometers on the flying bridge were not working.
After I got it back in the slip and the sun got a bit lower in the sky, I started trouble shooting the problem. I just knew that I had lost +battery or -ground to them. But to my surprise they were both bad. I had both battery and ground as well as about 9 volts AC on the sense lead with the engines running. And all of the connections were clean and tight.
I guess all of the rain made it to damp under the canvas cover and dash for them.
I took both out and sent them in for repair Monday.

I got a package from Faria Corp. today with two new tach's in it. They charged $80 to repair/replace them plus $7.50 shipping. Good job Faria Corp.
I put them in and they worked perfect.
It's nice when things go right.
