I do know that the engines will come with two of these tachometers and the cables to get them to the dash. Maybe this will help?


And then I post a pic of a speedo, but you know what I mean.

Been good, how about you? I miss the lake, but I still don't think I would ever move back there.

There has been a little delay in acquiring the engines. The repower shop is behind and claim they will have them de rigged next week for me.

So this is what I got. I know that I need the 14 pin cables from the engines to the dash and a couple of ignition switches. What else do I need to complete this installation?

I went down to the local Merc repower shop this morning. For a mere $3K, they fixed me up with every cable and connector that I was missing to wire up the engines and to hook up my Simrad for engine information. They had every piece of it in stock and were very helpful. He assured me that I am going to need a Verado PS pump and helm if anyone has anything laying around that they are not using.

Look forward to your final setup. I'm about ready to change things on my Verados but its still under warranty.

So down the rabbit hole I go with the simple repower. Might as well pull off the bracket and have it re-powder coated. Might as well pull off the tabs and do the same. Might as will fix everything on the transom and repaint it while I am at it. And the list goes on and on.
