 electrical wiring issue
Added a side console to hold some new switches, 12v plugs and other shit. Not quite finished. The switches I added are: bilge, running lights, interior lights (led rope light under catwalk) and a trim switch. I really like the trim switch so while I'm running, I don't have to turn around to operate it. I ran a power and a ground from the battery to feed the switches. Jumper all the hots and grounds. Ran switched power to all existing items. I also ran trim wires to the trim solenoids to operate it. Everything works great. But here's my issue, I noticed that yesterday, while operating the trim on both the console and on the handle, my Tach would read some rpms. This tach, the trailtech TTO, doesn't have a ground like the tiny tach. Its never done this before, and just started when I added all the switches. I suspect its a ground issue that's causing it, but not sure.

 Re: electrical wiring issue
Do you have the circuit fused? How does that trail tach wire up?

 Re: electrical wiring issue
Yes they do. Had one on my briggs. Starting acting up. They set another no problem. But it was fine till I tied in the wires. Something seems like it's back feeding. I'll pull the new wires off and just try the existing trim switch.
