I recently purchased a fresh water 2003 38 Open with low hours. Starboard tach starting to fail and then the port tach failed including the hour meters. Boat has Glendenning system too. Electrical contractor felt synchronizer gauge was causing a short and both tachs worked for awhile after unplugging. Now both tachs are failing again. Any ideas? or recommendations
Thanks everyone for your input. After 4 attempts from the same electrical contractor and your advice we solved the issue. It must have been one of the yellow ground connections behind the helm unit. The small synchronizer gauge is still unplugged so I might have had two issues causing complete failure of both tachs. I am reluctant to even replace this gauge as the Glenndenning system works great. I will keep anti-corrosive (T-9) on the grounds from this point forward.
This is a great source for expertise!
