Yes It worked for me, you do have to re-calibrate the Surfgate once in the water to make it work again with the new gauge, it took me a while to figure that out.

Cool. I called my dealer and told him this. This is the first tach they have replaced for this issue. He told me last night that he had one in stock. I am just hoping it is the updated version and not the old version like mine. It will definitely be nice to have the cruise fixed. Over the 4th I sent a picture of my speedometer to the dealer. I had the set speed at 21.4mph and the actual speed was pulling at 23.5mph with it surging between 23.0 and 24.0mph.

Mine doesn't surge at all now - its spot on now and only varies by .1-.3mph.

It is the tach, I just got mine back last week and the speed holds within .2 mph now.

My '13 fluctuates a lot more than that

I had them replace my tach last week. I got out on the lake on Friday to test it. I thought at first it was running fine so I broke out the GPS to calibrate the speedo. I needed to make a 10% increase on the speedo to get it calibrated correctly. After that, it was doing the same thing again. I would set it at 21.4 and the boat would pull at 23.5mph. I checked the speed several times with two different gps. One was my phone, the other was a car Garmin gps unit. Anybody else have this issue after they calibrated their speedo?

Also, it seems like my surfgate isn't working. I tried to calibrate it but nothing happened when I selected the calibration option. It looks like it is going back to the dealer tomorrow to get the bugs worked out and hopefully the cruise control issue resolved also.

Hmm - I haven't checked the speed against my GPS - I guess i'll try that tomorrow.

Sounds like the same issue... I calibrated mine with an app on my phone and adjusted it -2 I think. No issues at all now.

Update on this. My dealer installed the wrong tach (I told him to verify it was the most up-to-date). The new tach should be the newest out there.

Hmmmm, how did your dealer get ahold of an older software tach if they did in fact order a "new" tach? Just seems weird.
