The control panel for our Isuzu 35 has a VDO tachometer with built in digital hour counter. The hour counter display has been intermittent for the last 2 or 3 years, still counting hours ok but showing a blank screen when weather damp. On this long weekend trip back fro being blacked it's not shown it's face at all and I was wondering if anyone might know a fix? It was brand new with the boat (and engine) 12 years ago. I know I could replace it but it has the genuine hours on of my engine which I want to keep. I have checked all the connections this afternoon and they all seem to be ok but no display. Any help would be much appreciated, as although I can do the basics, I'm no electronics whizz.

Or it may respond well to being thoroughly dried out. I hung ours over the stove for a couple of days last year, and it's been OK since.

If you're that bothered about keeping the genuine hours then wind it up with a Black and Decker drill. |

The mechanical types are very cheap on ebay. I'm told they're easy to wire in to the ignition. Obviously not easy for me  Rog |

Thanks for the replies people, much appreciated. I'm going to try warming it and I've emailed the guy from the YouTube clip about his replacement lcd display. A bit expensive I know, but much cheaper than a new tachometer, and it keeps the original hours.

Mine failed 6 years ago I change oil and filter yearly and that seems to be working out fine
