problem,what to look for or had similar problems themselves.

Many thanks

When my tachometer quit working, I sent it to the manufacturer who repaired
it. It was still in warranty.

Mine had a ten year warranty, separate from the warranty on the boat. You
might check with the manufacturer and see.

Try this:

Purple wire should be the tach power.
Black wire will be the ground wire.
Gray wire goes to the negative side of the ignition coil.

1st: Check the Black wire to see if you still have a good ground.
2nd: Check the Purple wire for 12V.
3rd: Check the Gray wire for continuity.

If everything checks OK.... you probably have a toasted Tach...

If rev counter is the same as tackymutter, you might need to change a
setting. I hope it comes with instructions ..
