both tachs on my 342, 2003 have failed. I can't id manufacturer. Rinker customer service no help.

Does anyone know the manufacturer or where I can get new or rebuilt tachs with the same connectors?

Fiara makes them.

 

There is a posting about this on here already.

Checking on this for you, whalpin...

They are Teleflex. They do not make them anymore. Take them off and spray electric cleaner in them from the back where you can adjust them. This has worked for me in the past when I owned that exact boat.

Thank you for the info

Hey Whalpin...They are Teleflex gauges. We may possibly have some still in stock. Have your dealer check with Rinker Parts for cost and availability if the spray electric cleaner doesn't work.

My solution for the bad tachs: twinscan tach and fuel flow meters.  messed up my post, pic coming

That looks SHARP

Thanks!  Twinscan tach on left...fuel flow meters on right.  A lot simpler to keep synched and the flow meters are a definate plus for longer trips and refueling (not over filling).  I installed engine hour meters where the oringinal chartplotter was (just to left of pic).

Since the gauges are not the same size as original, I used a black plastic as a fill ring and reused the gold trim from the tachs so it looks pretty 'standard'..just white gauges.

Great job installing them. Looks like stock...

here is one of the flow meters installed, they need to be horizontal and it is mounted between the inline fuel filter and the fuel/water separator.  This is the starboard engine looking straight down by the firewall.
