Best waterproof Tach for Nytro?

SylvanLaker · Mar 10, 2010

Looking through my autometer catalogue and don't see any that are waterproof. What have you guys been putting on your Nytro's? The digital readout is impossible to use. Marine edition has some nice ones but they are a dash mount.. thx!

I saw someone on totally yamaha use the 2010 vector tach on their Nytro. It is just like the apex tach and i bieleve it is plug and play.

Edit it was a 2010 venture

thats a sick idea. that apex/rx1 style tachs ROCK.. so much easier to read... and having a needle to glance at when climbing is really nice.

neat idea but I want to get an aftermarket one and keep the stock one, Any ideas?

well were in this topic does anyone run one for there water temp? and what kind! i mean the nytros have a dummy light, but it would be nice to know the temp!

SL i see what your saying. I think i'm gonna try the venture tach. I was told everything werks on it except the clock. the pictures i saw it looked real clean.

I guess you can get the clock to work too. Here is the thread. And a picture

I HIGHLY recommend the Venture guage! So much easier to clutch the sled when you can read the tach on the fly.
BTW the clock is kinda handy too, I didn't think I would use it. But I actually use it quite a bit!

That is pretty cool. It appears all the functions still work. that is what I was worried about. So when you adjust the warmers the display works too?? The thread says so, but it can't be cheap getting one of these..

PS This is why I love Snowest, no shortage of info. It amazes me how much relavent info you find with one post..

Yes all display functions work normally. I am able to adjust the CO through the diagnosic mode as well!
Havn't tried pulling codes yet, however I assume it will work as well.

Apex gauge will work, however I heard reports that the tach is not accurate on the 3 cylinder engines.

Venture/Vector EFI gauge runs about $400 at Yamaha sports plaza.

That's a good question, I'm curious myself. Someone might be able to try it out though, snowpromod is parting his Apex out. Might be able to get a pod cheaper.

Vector GT Gauge for 2009 is #8GM 83500 11 and is $540.00 can.

for a 09 venture or a 2010 vector the gauge is different. #8HF 83500 00 00 and is $850.00 can

Will the first one work?? (8GM)

Thistledoo · Mar 11, 2010

pm free agent with the part numbers....her price will be the best

makes sense with the 4cyl vs 3cyl deal....that sucks cause there are lots of apex ones kicking around.

irondave86 · Mar 11, 2010

I heard of someone that tried the apex guage and it didnt work. I do bieleve it was the rpm's didnt read right. I thought you could get the 2010 vector guage for $395 usd from south seattle motoplex, but i think they moved to Oragon. I believe codes come from the cpu not the guage. While the cost of the guage is extream, at least you know that it will hold up to the harsh conditions that it would be subjected to.

SylvanLaker · Mar 12, 2010

Yup $419 form Yamaha Sports Plaza so by the time it gets here, $500 wow! at least that better than my local Canadian dealer at $840. I don't know if I can do it, that's a lot of dough..

She does seem to have the best prices around, if you do get one I'd check with her first.
