My tiny tach has finally started messing up so I guess I'm going to have to buy another.
Is the tiny tach still the go to hour meter tach, for older 2 stoke outboards?
Is anyone using another product(maybe cheaper) and having good results?

Lol nope....never messed with it yet.
Was thinking it was sealed but will have to look a bit closer.
It's not blank screen but not reading accurately, might check the wires also(plus ground), before buying another. I don't look at it much, had the outboard along time , can tell if it's acting up.

I have had good luck with the Hardline Hour/Tach off of Amazon which is about $20-25. Hopefully you can get the Tiny Tach working right again though.

Will it work on a 4 cylinder 4 cycle.?

Yes, the one I have can be changed to read a 4-strokes ignition system.

I have this exact one, or at least one that is VERY similar. Been on my boat for 5 years. Zero issues. It's responsive and accurate. It also serves as an hour meter. I easily extended the reach of mine by a good 6 or 7 feet by attaching a piece of, I think, 18 AWG tinned wire with a heat shrink butt connector. This enabled me to place the tach right beside my control panel where it could easily be seen while underway. I don't believe the batteries in these are accessible, so once they run out the unit is useless. But for $12, I don't mind swapping out a new one every 5+ years.

Hey Jim, I just sent you a PM. Let me know if you're still looking for someone to do this.
