Hi Folks:
My port tachometer shuts down after my alternator is told by the voltage regulator to stop charging the house bank. I can't increase the voltage on the Regulator because it would overcharge my new AGM Fullriver batteries, which are located in my hot engine room. So I'm told the only way to get around this problem is to install a magnetic tachometer.
Does anyone have experience with these, and if so what brands are you using. Is installing one easier than the other etc.
Please don't hold back. Looking forward to all input. Thanks.
