Tach on a 99 GTX LIMITED?

[colinkris1]

I have a 98 and 99 GTX LIMITED. The 98 has a tach and the 99 does not. Shame on me - I haven't done the research I could (just yet anyway). I saw these two items on eBay and was wondering if this could work out...

Note the listing for the tach seems to indicate my model although no tach is listed for my model on any Sea-Doo parts list I have seen... I'm pretty sure the instrument back plane would fit my hood, but I haven't compared the 98 gauge size against the 99 yet. I don't even know if the wiring harness has a spot to hook the tach up? Even if the one in the add would fit and IF there is a wiring spot to connect to, how would I know if this would work as my machine doesn't have a Sea-Doo part number to compare it to? Am I just spinning my prop here? I would like to know my rpms...

switch your info center to RPM.

OMG. Time to start learning more about my machines I guess. I was just saying to my buddy that I haven't looked at the info center stuff at all yet. Replaced motors, fuel and oil lines, fuel selectors, rebuilt carbs with all new Mikuni parts - cleaned out gas and oil tanks and washed out the hulls. We have had 3-4 rides on them. Enough to be half way through 2nd tanks of gas. I noticed that there is a clock, compass, and fuel gauge, but I haven't even pressed any of the buttons for them yet. Still like the triple gauge set up on the 98 though. Nothing like just glancing down at a big gauge..... thanks for the tip!
