I'm thinking a want one of these meters? Are these sync meters accurate and or very hard to install? does the meter read the tach's for info or does it read from the engines? Or do i jsut need to let this be like a Zen thing and go by ear?

does the gage just read the two 2 tachs and tell you whether they read the same ? as long as the tachs are accurate wouldn't it be the same as looking at the tachs and comparing the 2 ?
Unless it can control and sync the engine r p m I guess I just don't see the point.
EDIT: just spoke to Livorsi that gauge has been discontinued, due to being kinda useless lol

Ok now I know what you guys re talking about! Went out today and yes that is a sweet sound of the twins running at 4K rpms. Like a sowing machine
I love twins!
The tach does catch up about 4K rpms so its the gauge, Livorsi said send it they`ll rebuilt it no problem.

i believe it just reads the tach signals from the 2 engines

there is not a better boating sound than hearing twins get into synch! I miss having twins for that reason and docking. Educating your wife/girlfriend on how to get them running in synch and properly trim out the drives is fun too.
