Last wknd we got close enough to a lightning strike that it took out 1/2 our electronics and the port alternator and 'maybe' both tach's on that engine.
The Moto alternator is not charging and the associated tachs's do not work. 120 Lehman Engine starts and runs fine or course.
Question: since the tach's are wired off the back of the alternator, is the tach not working just a symptom of the of the alternator having no output? I just thought someone here may have had a similar situation when your moto alternator quit?
On a related note can you even buy a marine alternator now with the 'tach output'? I'd prefer to get it rebuilt but that may not be possible.
thanks in advance
