    external tach

    I have a MerCruiser 3.0 (older one...1992) and am in need of an external tach so I can adjust idle and mixture when needed. Will a contactless one work if I just point it at the large pully in the front of the engine with a piece of reflective tape on it? Thanks for any help. Don
