63 Sabre Topic Author Offline Contributing Member Posts: 4779 Karma: 147 Thank you received: 170	Rummaging through my old electric box and found this thing that I pulled off the Shell Lake last summer. The PO used it for something, it was screwed to the inside of the transom but not wired to anything. Anyone?? It measures about 3 1/2" square and about an inch thick.

Can't quite make out the number on it...that decides as I recall, what motors it is used for. I'll need to check my info tonight or tomorrow and will get back to you if no one else does. If it is for a OMC magneto, I may be able to use it.... Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I think my previous answer got lost in space....so briefer version...

I think most early airguides need it. The number stamped on it, as I recall, tells you what gauge it goes with (OMC, MERC, etc) or something along those lines.

I need to find my notes on them and get back to you. If it is for a OMC 2 cyl 2 stroke, I would be interested.

The number looks like "6BY" Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

63 Sabre Topic Author Offline Contributing Member Posts: 4779 Karma: 147 Thank you received: 170	That's probably the one. All the print is worn off the one I have so I don't know what terminals go where. I also looked through my stash and amazingly found an Airguide tach. Now if the two match up and are for a 1967 4cyl Johnson 100hp golden meteor with CD I'm in luck. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Not 100% on that, but if time during the week i will try to get to the old computer. Killing me I don't know where the portable drive i put everything on is!

Although the printing is worn off it left a "smooth" surface where it was, all I have to do is figure how to bring that image back to life. The matching tach unit and the relay are matched up on a site I googled. Just need the schematics.

You are not alone in trying to remember where you put the drives. Been there, done that. Thanks for your effort, there is no hurry, I have all winter and more.

Sorry took so long to get back, wibter really beat me up...but didn't forget! Located my backup, but file wasn't on it. Finally got to storage (my freinds house...lol) and pulled out old computer but while the folder was there, none of the files were in it. I am going to have to find it as those files were for my renovation of the club mariner, so when I eventually find them, will post. I mean... they have to be somewhere!

this will tell you what tachs go with what engines...just found the site...

www.classicboatwork.com/classicparts/gauges/airguide/airguideinstructions/Airguide_Instruct.html

I'll look at mine again, the square ones may have been made to be universal and depended on how it was hooked up - not positive of that though....
