boat tachometer not working and solution

• 2023-07-01

Reason for the tachometer not moving:
1. There are foreign objects in the instrument cluster, which prevent the pointer inside the tachometer from rotating normally.
2. The pointer inside the tachometer drops or gets stuck, causing the tachometer to not rotate.
3. There is a malfunction in the circuit inside the tachometer, which is likely due to burning or aging.
4. The soft shaft inside the tachometer is broken or cannot be connected, which will also cause the tachometer to not move.

The solution for the tachometer not moving is:
1. Replace the soft shaft link inside the tachometer;
2. Reinstall the tachometer pointer;
3. Clean foreign objects inside the instrument panel;
4. Replace the circuit inside the tachometer. A tachometer refers to the measurement of engine speed and is one of the essential instruments in the mechanical industry, used to measure the speed, linear speed, or frequency of a motor.

Observe if the boat starts: When not running, the boat will be in an idle state. At this point, the pointer of the tachometer will not indicate at 0, but at a position above 700 revolutions. So at any time, it's impossible to determine if the vehicle has started, just look at the tachometer. Indicating the safe operation area of the engine: There is a red zone on the tachometer, and generally, the speed of a small boat is within 3000 rpm. For engines, maintaining excessively high engine speeds for a long time can lead to poor lubrication performance, and at the same time, the burden on the heat dissipation system is also relatively large. If left in the red zone for a long time, it will cause a certain degree of damage to various components of the engine. Therefore, the condition of the engine can be determined based on the safety zone of the engine tachometer.

The function of the engine tachometer is to reflect the problems that occur in many small boats. Many experienced crew members can determine whether there are problems in the small boat by the movement of the tachometer pointer when the engine is idling.Generally speaking, boat tachometer maintenance is very cheap, and the price of not repairing a boat tachometer is mainly determined by the reason why the tachometer does not rotate. If there is a foreign object inside the tachometer, simply remove the instrument panel and clean it up, which won't cost any money. If replacement is needed, it is also very cheap, and we can provide a tachometer.
