84 V-king set up

Viper, thanks again... If it is the voltage reg what else would be an indication the regulator is bad?

It also is part of the charging system but I have seen just the tach signal go bad, not common but I have seen it. If you have a volt tester there should be a small a/c current on the gray wire, I use a test light with a pos and a ground and it will make the bulb flash but you should see it on a volt meter as well.

Still no luck with tach. New tach and voltage reg installed. Again its an Evinrude V4 140. Any help would be appreciated.

I am using a 24 Trophy Plus on my V-King with a stock 150 OMC, it is turning a bit high at 6,000 but hope to correct that soon with higher pitch Trophy (waiting to install a 27).

I have used the Trophy plus both submerged as surfaced and it does a great job across the board, even with hole shot.

Not sure if they make them though for the V-4 gearcase. If so, dont hesitate to try one out.

rev limiter on that motor should be 6200rpm. I ran a 1985 Johnson 120 on an 18ft action craft and had it raised as high as it would go with out a lwp. It spun a 14.5" x 24" raker at 6100. The boat ran in the low to mid 70's. I would raise it as high as you can go with the stock pick ups and run a 24 or 26, raker or chopper. Just my two pennies.
