One of the Tachos on the Flybridge has been playing up since boat purchase and the method of encouraging it to work has gone from gentle light tap to a real well annoyed thump failing to get it to move.
Dismantled twice and lubricated twice which resulted in a short term fix.
Decided to finally sort it.
1. Repair old unit + P&P and how long gone ? £125.00 +
2. New single "Genuine" Yanmar unit. £500.00![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
2. Unused but new single boxed "Yanmar" unit Ebay. £260.00.
3. 2 x KUS tachos from well known aftermarket supplier £140.00 + P&P
or
4. Solution 2 x KUS tachos via Ebay, arrived 2.5 days after ordering. Total cost £70.00.
Needed to run 2 x wires from alternators to fly for signal to new tachos.
Downstairs Tachos still running using gearbox sender units.
Sorted.
*with apologies to Mr C Dickens.
The Yanmar oil pressure gauges are basically old rubbish as well.
