Wow, sounds great!! I know they make portable tachs (wired and not wired-held close to the engine) as I use an "Echo" for tuning my smaller engines, chain saws, etc.
Those attach to a spark plug wire.
I'm sure someone here will know how to make something work for ya (I'm electrically challenged cept for very basic's)

As for posting large videos (don't care for You tube as their public and can't be deleted), I use https://www.flickr.com/photos/147134237@N06/
Up load, wait a little while till it approves your video, then post here.
IE, a video I made just flushing my F150: https://www.flickr.com/photos/147134...in/dateposted/ and others..

I thought all of these Yamahas used the lighting coil pulses before it hit the RR for tach input..
I run a tach from an old evenruid someone gave me and it works fine on my 99 C40
but then some say tiny tack work by rapping a wire around a plug wire.
I think too much electronic noise up under the hood might be a problem
I think tach a is not really needed except to find the proper prop for your set up
