      August 16, 2018 at 2:33 pm Hi I have a 2000 Tiara 31 Open with Cummins 330B motors Can anyone confirm where the tach signal comes from? Took my tachometer in for rebuild and they say my tachs are getting signal from something other than the magnetic pick up I havenā€™t seen any variation to this anywhere Iā€™ve read.

Salt air/mist in engine room = air side of turbo damage Poor exhaust design = exhaust outlet side turbo damage There’s more to it but that covers the lion’s share….
