Stus-List Strange tachometer reading

I took the boat out yesterday and at ome point turned on the engine when the wind died and I needed to manuever. When I glanced down at the tachometer, it read 4000 rpm. However, from the throttle setting, the engine sound and the boat speed, it was more like 2000 rpm. I had run the engine bef

Stus-List Re: Strange tachometer reading

Here are some thoughts: When the tachometer (Ign. Sw.) is first turned on, pointer must go to between zero to 50 RPM . If not, check connections (if OK, tachometer is probably faulty). Voltages, with engine running should be: IGN to GND term

I believe also used for bedding keels to boats...from experience of taking one off. And I'd say likely the only two uses for 5200. On 2020-10-21 8:56 p.m., Dennis C. wrote: As others have said, 3M 5200 is an adhesive, not a sealant.  Virtually the ONLY place I use 3M 5200 is to PERMANENTLY GLUE

I used 5200 to glue a bilge pump to the floor of my Boston Whaler. I didn’t want screw holes that could let water into the core. It worked perfect for that ☺ Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I www.dellabarba.com October is the time to show your appreciation with a small contribution to this

I am glad you chimed in first, Jeff, Great pointers - I was (wrongly) going to suggest he check his alternator, as that is where my Kubota got its tachometer info from. Just read my Yanmar Manual, which does in fact show a sensor on the Flywheel. This helps me too, as now I can install my new Balma

"Polars" are commonly used "cheat sheets" (not really) that help optimize downwind performance. Some boats will reach a mark faster (better VMG) going the shortest distance, while other (usually sportier) boats will get there faster tacking down wind. The polar information provides target dire
