Welcome to the site!! Plenty of good information here to check out. Keep thr pictures coming.

welcome to the site, i see your from Tampa also. the picture looks like the marina near Baypines VA center, well, good luck, and if you need help, let me know, Im a paramedic in Pinellas cty.

i hope it is just your tach, but sometimes a tach not reading is a symptom of another problem. i'd verify the charging system on the boat is doing it's thing first.

Welcome to the site, Chrissy!...Phatdaddy's ZACKLY right...could be the tach, could be something else...could just be a bad connection. STRONGLY recommend you find and make friends w/a good, honest Mercury marine tech to check it out...spending money in the wrong direction can be worse than paying for someone to do it for you.
Teleflex makes great, affordable tachometers for your motor...just be sure, whatever you buy is a universal tach so when you repower, you can continue to use it.
I have a brand new one I'll sell you cheap...I THOUGHT I needed one and turns out I had one tucked away when I set up the V20 I have now. Let me know and I'll post pics, etc if you are interested.

Thanks macojoe---was following your posts for a while prior to signing up. congrats on the house and i'm so sorry you had to sacrifice the boat. something else will come your way, keep the faith. :)

welcome to the wellcraft v20 community were you will find the best people on earth :beer:
