Tach does not look right??

Tach does not look right??
Before I start it, tach is already around 500 RMP.
Gaffrig gauge, with a tattle tale switch and reset. But the tattle tale does not work.
Just bought the boat, so not sure how it should work (it looks simple and obvious, but you never know)
Motor is a 500 HP carb.
How can I check?
I hate the idea of buying a new tach, and nothing wrong with the old one.
Or maybe its that switch (not sure how that switch works)

Thanks Guys,
Ya, mine starts @ 500, so looks broken. Glad you have the same reading.
It's a Gaffrid switch, with 3 postions. I think is says TACH, Recall & Erase.
Won't be at the boat till the weekend, will double check what they show.

Tach NOT working now
O.K. Now I know something is wonky. THis weekend, was all over the place, or did nothing at all....
Where should I start to look to see where the problem could be?
THanks again!

New boat to me, so not 100% familar with the sound, but I think I'm bouncing off the rev limiter. Would like to try some props, but really need to get the tach in order before I start trying props.

Thanks Griff, I'll check if its doing that. It does not read, or only shows 2000, its not close to being accurate.
