Tom, Chris & George,
The first part of each season I get the fire extinguishers checked, when the service technician reinstalled the extinguisher in the engine room after being weighed, he neglected to reconnect it. This was the reason for the engines not to remain running when releasing the key from the start position. It wasn't until the technician mentioned that the problem must be in the Fire Board, that the light went on, I wasn't aware that there was that connection until then.
Chris, you are correct, I do have Bel-Mar Generators and they only put out 12.6 V. When I had the batteries replaced, I replaced them with what was already in the Boat (traditional Lead/Acid). We will be changing the Generators.
I haven't addressed the tachometer problem yet. When I do I will post results.
Thank you all for your input, I have learned a lot and have a lot to learn, but I know where I can find for HELP.
Thanks again
John
