Hey Dieselman. We are on Chemong ,and more specifically Fife's Bay. Glad you got your tach working. Sometimes it gets out of synch with the motor and needs to be adjusted like I explained. I'm glad ours is working properly too.

It is easy to remove your tach through the dash, and then check the setting on the back. Try setting it to the 6P position for Yamaha outboards. If it is already, it could be that you just need to move the dial back and then reset to that position. When set to the 4C or 6C position for # of...

OK. So, a little update here. When we took the boat out for longer rides, it seemed that our RPM reading was too high for the engine speed we were going. I did more reading and went onto the website for the maker of our tach, and their chart indicated that we should have set the dial to the 6P...

Took our boat out yesterday, and the tach operated perfectly. I was surprised how easy the tach was to remove from the dash, and then put back in after the adjustment was made. Once the nuts come off the back, the bracket comes right off , and then push the tach out through the dash. I think it...

Finally had a look at the tach, and removed it from the dashboard. Easy to do as suggested by Remediation in the above post. The photo shows that the factory setting was incorrect, as we have a 4 cylinder Yamaha 115hp. I have reset the to the 4C/2P position ,and will test it out this afternoon...

I have not gotten under the helm to remove the tach, and examine the switch on the back. A bad hip this summer and then replacement surgery has kept me away, but I will do it when I am able , and then give a report back here. Thanks for asking.

Thank-you very much for that information. That helps me a lot. It is so nice to have the exchange of info. and tips for pontoon owners to solve problems and improve their boating experience.

My wife was the one who wanted the 2nd helm chair, because she was tired of turning her head to look forward. This was a great decision and would recommend this layout. We also went with the bamboo floor and SPS system. All good choices for us.

We thank-you for your compliments about our new boat. It is Granite Grey and not the black as it may appear. We live and boat on the Kawartha Lakes in Ontario. We have about 390km of waterways accessible to us from our backyard. These boats perform best in lakes like these. Again , we are are...

We have had this new 2021 L20 Tritoon for about 2 months, and we have to say that we are very impressed with everything about this boat. It has a Yamaha F115 outboard, and even with 8 people onboard , it handles so well. The SPS package makes a huge improvement over our old 18 ft. pontoon. The...

Here is a dark pic of the back of our tachometer. What would be the best way to remove it from the bracket and be able to examine the setting for the number of cylinders? Do I loosen the nuts on the bracket and then loosen the long bolts from the back of the tach itself to let it come a way from...

Thank-you very much for your response. We have the standard Bennington gauges. I have checked the connection plug on the back of the tach, and it is secure. What I have read from other threads, is to check the black dial on the back of the tach, and adjust it to the number of cylinders on your...

We have a new Bennington 2021 L20 tritoon with a Yamaha 115 on it. Sometimes while operating the boat ,the tach needle is moving around not giving a consistent reading. Sometimes it even goes all the way around the gauge and stays there until shut off. Our dealer is really slow to respond to...
