So I have a 2000 Johnson 150 which used to run on old controls (when the repowered the '84 controls stayed and they used an adapter to hook up the post '96 johnson). I just installed new controls and cables and everything works (except tach, see below) but I can't figure out how to power the gauges (fuel and volt). On the old controls there was a two wire plug that went hot when the ignition came on and that juiced the two gauges. Now with the new controls there is only a 8 pin plug to the system check/tach but without splicing into one of those wires there is no hot for the other gauges. Any suggestions? I am thinking there may be a hot off the tach that I jumper to the others but can't figure it out.
Onto the tach, I need an extension for the 8 pin plug from the controls to the dash, is this the right part???

It sounds right, but that is the ONLY place that has it, weird...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
