After spending $100+ for a tachometer, should I mount it in the cockpit where it will get rained on and exposed to the elements? The crystal LOOKS water proof enough, but I haven't been able to find any recommendations on this issue.

brand? pics?
Hi Steve,
Would you mind sharing the brand you bought and how you mounted/plan to mount it?
I have a 1977 Catalina 30, and it currently has oil, amps & water, but no tach. I hope to rebuild the instrument cluster some day and add a tach.
Thanks!-Shawn

Hi Stan,
It is the smaller one sold by MMI. I already have a 2" hole to mount it, otherwise I would have gotten the one with the arger face. There is no panel to speak of. The tach, the gas gauge, and a few idiot lights are mounted on the side of the cockpit which is exposed to the elements.
