They need to be matching sets.

If it was the same part number. I have not heard of anyone repairing them. Someone reached out to the manufacture a while back looking for the rubber buttons but that was all.
What is the number on the back of yours ? Here is an example of matching tachs.Tach.jpg
 
ok, i am goint to try and swap just the rear curcuit bord from the new gauge to the old gauge. i cant find any new or used gauges that will work.
 
What is the number on the back of your tach ?

That second pic looks to be the speedometer. Front.jpgBack.jpgCan you return the new tach before you take it apart ? I have a feeling it won't work since that piece also has a specific part tag on it also.
 
yes i can return it, you have a few laying around? anything that will work? lol.
 
That back section came from a parts tach. You can try it and if it works I will give you a good deal on it.
 
i will send u a pm. thanks. and can up date everyone if this works.
 
swapped out the back circuit board and it worked, numbers were different but its all good to go, so i am sure the CPU is in the front section of the gauge. so no software issues with the swap. Thanks to a member on here who lent me a used board to try out. Will know for sure in summer,
 
As a follow-up to my prior comment you may want to try to contact Yuri..who is the owner of BestPixelRepair.com (he lives in the town over in NC) for a potential repair.

He did some work repairing an instrument cluster for me on a BMW...cleaning up oxidation from a leaking capacitor and creating new traces/jumpers, and resoldering new capacitors. I mentioned to him the challenges us as owners of older Yamaha Jetboats are having with some of our gauges. He said it may be interesting in trying to fix them. It may be worth calling him to discuss options...maybe repair is possible. Just a thought....good luck.

I have a 2012 Yamaha 242 limited S. I have tachometer that has gone bad in my boat. It sends a constant signal to the guardian switch with no issues or codes. My boat is at a Yamaha shop and they can not get Yamaha Corp to return a call with an alternative to the Tachometer replacement part or part number. Anyone that may have a answer to this problem would be appropriate. Want to get back on the water ASAP. Part # F2U-U8245-60-00

Were you able to get this resolved? I have the same Issue and can't find the Tachometer for my 2012 242 Yamaha.

Check with GuageSaver.com. They do repair work on a large range of Yamaha gauges and will disassemble/clean/re-seal a gauge that's fogging. Cost for labor to clean and re-seal is only $125ea. I've spoken with the owner, and confirmed what I've posted here.

That doesn't included fixing the gauges which some companies have tried unsuccessfully
