is it going to be any good for £8 Dave?
To be honest the clue is in the pricing of it.

Bhg Marine had some nice Yamaha ones for just under 20 squids which were discounted. would be worth giving them a call

Check Tiny Tach or Hardline Tachs, both hour/tach and with programmable firing sequence modes, could be used virtually on any engine type. Costs more, but that's money well spent. Nothing against the cheapo ones, but how accurate are they, that's the main question.

Happy Boating
