Perkins M30 Alternator Tacho

Since having our river cruiser the tacho has never showed revs while running, needle is always at zero. The hours counter works and back light, so I know there's power to it. I'm of the understanding that the tacho is ran by the alternator. The alternator is a 40amp Cargo/Holger 113562, does this have the output connection to tacho? I am looking to upgrade to the 90amp Prestolite 66021590m which I know does have the tacho connection.
I'm just curious as to whether the original alternator does control tacho or is there another method with this engine?
TIA

I can't seem to see the Perkins wiring as it's wanting me to subscribe to some sort of service. I have managed to find the alternator that is on my boat at present. It has a B+ and R L connections, so assuming no tachno connection.
