1985 Carver 3607 Tach issues

I have an issue with the Tachometers on the bridge and lower helm. All 4 of them do not work, the synchronizer gauge on the bridge works. There isn't one at the lower helm. I would think is would be bad ground from the engines some place. The synchronizer gauge works. That right there leaves me :banghead: If anyone can clue me in how they all work together. That would be a great help. Thanks

Try this. On the back of the tach is a small selector ( for selecting 4. 6, or 8cyl) you can turn with a small screwdriver. Move it back and forth a number of times.
The contacts may be corroded. This cleans them up. If the synchronizer is getting a signal, so are the tacks.

I'll have to give that a shot on the bridge. I did get a real crappy shrink wrap job last winter. The wiring diagram in the manual is useless. Makes sense if the tach signal comes from the bridge, Thanks David
