Providing there is 12 volts key on power, and a good ground supplied to the tach, the most likely culprit would be a faulty rectifier, from which comes the tachometer signal. Also, it may be a corroded or loose plug-in connection to the control box or key switch harness.

It should work. I have a 94 w/o a tach and put a LE version cluster with tach in. Works fine. There should still be a tach wire grouped into the harness plugs. Just unplug your old one and plug in the new one that's it.

How does mercury outboard 60 hp e60elcia work?

The Mercury Outboard 60hp E60ELCIA uses a combination of fuel, air, and spark to power its engine. Fuel is injected into the combustion chamber, mixed with air, and ignited by a spark plug to create controlled explosions that drive the pistons. These pistons then turn the crankshaft, which ultimately propels the boat forward in the water.

The tachometer is fed from the distributor coil. High voltage spikes are filtered on the wire to prevent damage to the electronic display. There is a tach filter attached to the intake manifold. Replace this filter and your tach will work again. Mid-America Motorworks Part #618-561
