[Public-List] Tachometer and/or cable

[David Mitchell]

Dan,
I had the same problem. There is a 90 degree elbow on the cable coming out
of the back of the tachometer. There are two gears that meet in the 90
degree. You should be able to fix the problem with some grease. There is a
cap that you can unscrew and fill with grease.

Subject: [Public-List] Tachometer and/or cable



Good morning,

Hope everyone enjoyed some sailing
last weekend. 

 

I?m looking for some opinions on replacing
or servicing my tachometer and/or tachometer cable. When my Atomic 4 is
running, I intermittently hear a noise that sounds more or less like someone
strangling a seal in the starboard seat locker. Since the sound corresponds
to some
wild fluctuations in the tachometer needle, I suspect the problem is the
tachometer cable or the tachometer itself. 

 

If anyone has thoughts on how to
further diagnose and fix this, I?d be glad to hear them. I believe this is
the tachometer that was original to the boat (1966).

Also, I?d love to hear
opinions about whether this is a do-it-yourself project or something to give
to
the $60-an-hour mechanic.

 

Thanks

Dan
