[Public-List] Tachometer and/or cable

[Meinhold, Michael J.]

My mechanical  tach failed last year. The cable sheared off above the
fitting that connects it to the accessory drive. I got a new electronic
tach , but haven't found place to put it yet.

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
