  • Upgrade to digital tachometer new F70

    I have a Yamaha analog tachometer on a new boat which has a F70LA outboard made in late 2018. I wanted to upgrade to the 6Y8 so that I can have hours and warnings. Would this be a plug and play swap of the current tach or is there wiring that also needs to be replaced?

    the wiring needs to be replaced,

    the current 4-wire 'trim & oil harness'
    that runs directly between the engine and tach will not be used

    You'll replace it with a different 4-wire harness,
    connecting to a different plug on the engine harness
    and then through several different bits to the tach.

      Thank you, that is very helpful. Probably not worth all that work just to check the hours...
