Evening bud,

yeah they are bloody expensive, I got a tachometer priced up from a yamaha dealer in fareham, for my 1990/1 ish yam 60 w stroke - 118 pounds inc vat!

look on ebay mate - i got one well priced off there
or wait for the boat jumbles coming up
unles your made of money of course - best of luck !

Tachos are expensive, but speedos are relatively cheap. I bought a teleflelx 35MPH white speedo kit from nautequipe at the southampton boatshow for £35. Worth phoning them to see if they've got any left.

For the tachometer, best to speak to your local yamaha agent.

Have you spoken to Bembrige outboards? they were breaking a Yam 80 and a Yam 115 recently so might have spare gauges

One way of getting a speedo is to buy a cheapish depth sounder they come with a speedo sensor built in usually!

Plastimo do a speedo (£49) and a tacho (£59) which I think are compatable with the majority of engines (mines a Mariner). I have the speedo and it works well enough. I'm planning to install the techo sometime very soon....
