Hey Guys,
Can anyone tell me where to get a replacement tach for my 180 sport?
The hour meter is barely readable at this point, and some of the legs on the 7 segment display don't light up.
The tach itself works perfectly, but I honestly can't tell how many hours its reading right now without covering it up from the light and squinting really hard to read the numbers.
Also, I know this has been covered in oher threads, but none seemed to have a solution so I figured I'd throw it out there again. My temp gauge is constantly reading 180-190ish. When I shut it off, it never goes off but just seems to land on a random number, sometimes 140 sometimes 160. Any thoughts? I checked the engine temp w/ an IR thermometer, and it's right around 160, so I think the engine's fine. Plus I had the impeller replaced last season and it's been this way for a long time without issue, so I doubt the engine is really running that hot.... guessing a screwed up gauge.
Lastly, what's the easiest way to diagnose the pitot tube for the speedo? I seem to have an issue in the transom, since when I disconnect at the wall I can blow air up to the speedo and have it work fine. I've blown everything out with air both directions from wall to tiny hole in the outdrive, and back...
Thanks guys
Jim
