Might consider Westach. They offer 3,000 and 5,000rpm tachs in a 2 1/16 size, both voltages.

Go to your local boat shop, they probably have a tach that you want. Howard

The first picture is one I got on Amazon, and is the one I am currently using. It is an Autometer. The second picture is one I got from one of the vendors, which I believe is a Westach. I didn't use it because I wanted the 270 degree sweep. These are both 12 volt, not sure if either one of these is offered in 6 volt.

I agree with Carl and would prefer the larger sweep.
