    Voltage regulator questiuon

    98 175 EFI Mariner i have a tach that is going nuts. One minute it is reading fine at WOT, next minute it is reading 7000, the 2 yellow wires on the voltage regulator are a little black were they connect at,I only have one regulator that is hooked up should i replace the one and hook the other one up? Would this fix the tach problem?

    If you have blackened bullet connectors- replace BOTH regulators, as well as any damaged bullet connectors.

    Sherm @ Sherm's Marine (or I) would be more than happy to assist you with these.

    Email or Phone are the BEST means of contacting the Parts Department(s).
