Noah, you could consider getting one or two of those kneeling pads from hardware store and standing on them. Or, like I do, run the boat from in front of the wheel.

The batteries wouldn't be a problem, but the inverter is a big beast.

Maybe I suck at getting hoses off, but this dissuaded me from exploring that route any further. I think I mentioned the large glass-bowl fuel filter that is also mounted under the sink. I suspect it will block the muffler coming out that route as well even if I manage to get the sink hoses off. There are very few one-size-fits-all solutions in these boats.

I did try the sink route but couldn't even get the sink hoses off. After spending considerable time trying to do laparoscopic surgery through the head sink door, this was the path of least resistance for me. I guess I will reevaluate the options when the time comes to put the muffler back.

So possibly, Stu (?) may not have hooked his tach to that special terminal.

Quote from: tvorgitch on February 15, 2024, 05:27:14 PMWhat would cause the tach to not function if the batteries are fully charged?
Quote from: Noah on February 13, 2024, 11:18:00 AMSTU— I assume that your statement "there is no tach signal with full batteries" does not apply if you are running an external regulator. Or, some other wiring is set-up differently on my boat, as I have never had this issue. I run my engine with 100% SOC on batteries "all the time" and always have a tach reading.
