Marine-ized RPM counter

[AndyStobbs]

After a supplier for a water tight RPM counter. Anybody got any recommendations?
I bought an ebay car one and bunged up all the holes with silicone, but it didn't last long ha.

Thanks

Ah, the inevitable "how to pee someone off" response. If I had a quid for every time some sod says that. I'm sure people say it just to wind people up.

No seriously, I had a full dash from a cabin cruiser, all Perkins vdo gauges, was going to use some in the landy but for fed up of moving it

Wasn't inferring that you'd told a porky. It came out a bit wrong. I meant mentioning the fact something has just been binned. Keep it quiet man. Gone is gone, so no reason to rub it in.

Had someone do it to me the other month regarding imperial bolts/screws etc. Going through the usual fare at one of the local hardware suppliers, and a bloke mentions he'd just skipped a cartload of old imperial stuff a few weeks earlier. It just makes it worse.

Hi, what about one from a motorbike? They're out in all weathers, unless the owner is a butterfly rider.

I have used Speedy Cables for instruments, they are very helpful & may be able to offer a water resistant taco

MES marine, have actually had a few biys from them but didn't think gauges would be their thing. Worth a phone call - good shout.

I was looking for one for a quadbike and found this should be waterproof for a scooter?.
