This is engine related so I thought better here than in Readers other.
On my boat I have a single cylinder two stroke, its not required but would be useful on longer journeys to know the engine RPM.
On big capacity engines esp. in the US they use Magnetos and you can get a signal converter ( Automech 9118 and few others). The problem is the cost is around $100, they are over engineered for my requirement but not for a racing V8.
I can find various cheap alternatives like “TEL TAC” but these all have an inbuilt display rather than an output signal, I need an output signal.
Does anyone have any ideas or experience ?
I know at the RPM I will be looking at the signal may be hit and miss but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
