Tachometer...
 

Ive been looking around for a remote tach for my new build but cant seem to find a stand alone unit have only found the sensor in the nomadio radio but dont want to purchase a whole nother radio, especially since the wife is ruffled a bit by how much ive spent on it already (darn you twisted liquid:D) but since Im going to run some uncharted waters (so to speak) would like to know where my motor is running in the rpms when I finally paste her together. Does anyone know of a remote sensor for rpms that either has a display to mount in the boat with a readings log or an active diplay thats handheld an uses a sensor mounted in the hull???
help please

Hi Wayne, I like to be able to help you on this, as I have some experience with electronic tacho's on cars etc..
( will have an ask on and a look on the car forum im on for you if you like), however there are stand alone units avalaible for mini motor bikes etc, that will probably take a pick up from the flywheel, is this the kind of thing you need though : http://www.abcmodelsport.net/p393895...CKET-SIZE.html

I dont know about one that has a display, but I believe there is one that will record different engine parameters, that you can download to a computer later. I figure someone will be along that has info on a better solution...

search Eagle Tree, it's a telemetry sensor.....but goin this way having all the sensor meaning extr*****...for convinience get nomadio or spectrum.

Thanks dirty your on the right track I think wave really had it down with that eagle treewith that recording telemetry system but maybe one that doesnt do it "ALL". Just would like a read out or at least a peak rpm system an maybe a temp gauge.
Man I really like that eagle tree system but dang more than I want to spend I just ordered the radio from tower I guess I can cancel an Iook a nomadio or the spektrum.

Maybe Im thinking to much into it but wouldnt it be simple enough to use the eagle tree tach sensor an set up a pen sized circuitboard with a flash drive to record overall time an how many passes the sensor recorded in that time frame, that would give me the data needed to download an convert to a real rpm range. Man I guess Im just trying to reinvent the wheel. ok so throw some links at me where to get each nomadio or spektrum with the sensors. Man already spent some$$$ to get eveything I thought I needed. I guess I really dont need need this but thought there could be a slightly cheaper method the darn sensor is only 14 buckaroos
