I mounted mine on the top of my console and it works great.............look at my personal page and you can see all of the wiring that I managed to get under that small area...... Tach.......trim gauge and water pressure gauge...Just make sure you place it so you can see it and it's not blocked by the steering wheel
Ours has the tach mounted on the horizontal flat surface just to the left and forward of the wheel, but it is mounted in a black plastic adapter that tilts it up about 30 degrees so it is easier to read and water doesn't pool on the surface.
