[C320-list] temp gauge issue

[Joe Barrett]

Hi Bob, I presume you have the Yanmar 3GM30F as I do. Where is the Tach
connection located at the back of the engine? Mine must be loose or corroded
as well as it only works occasionally.

Check out a loose connection at the sensor.  I had my tachometer stop
reading once while motoring home.  I have a 2002 320 in fresh water and the
tachometer connection at the back of the engine was a little bit corroded.
I cleaned off the plug connections and coated the plug with ample automotive
dielectric grease and have not had a problem in 2 years.
