Re: {Beneteau Owners} Tachometer/Serpentine Conversion

[Sail...@aol.com]

Fletch,

 

I did the same thing on my Yanmar and went to the Balmar serpentine conversion.  The OEM tach is not adjustable and I've just live with it for now.   I've been looking at the VDO  web site to find one that may fit.

Do you have any suggestions on calibration of the Prima tach.

I have installed a Balmar 6 series and serpentine belts. The ratio is now 3 to 1 and the tach reads a way too fast. My calculations had the oem ratio at 1.92

I have Perkins Prima M50 with a VDO tach.

 

The hour meter has stopped working twice already and been repaired twice. The shop told me the problem was in plastic gears turning over the digits. Something breaks in there and the gears need to be replaced. The repairs cost me about $150 each time. It’s a bit of a worry because this VDO tach is now obsolete and can not be purchased anywhere. I have not found anything of that size and spec to fit in the available space.

I noticed that my hour meter on the tach has stopped working. It is a Perkins model. Is there an electrical wire that could have come loose? I don't think think it is mechanical. We have an OC 400 .
