Yes, the gauge and sender are a match.

I share your basic satisfaction with how things are running, but the guys suggested I check to see if my tach was set for 4, 6, or 8 cylinders. There is a...

Fished a little.

Motored in. Flat water. Very little tidal flow. 1500 RPMs. 5.5 kts.

I'm sure there must...

That's a nice idea.

The clew on the 115 sometimes catches on the mast as the sail passes. Unfortunately, the winches and cleats are at just the wrong height. This may help.

I don't think my tach has a selector switch, but I'll check.

1900 has been the max I can get. I attributed it to the waterline length on my T27. I'm going as fast as I can go.
