Hour meters on 08 38ZR
Hey,
Somehow I've put 60 hours on my boat in a short time.
My boat has the keyless ignition where the keys sit under the back starboard seat.
The ignition is on the dash, one switch to turn the ignition on and another to start the motor.
Now the big question, does anyone know if the hour meter counts up if the keys are turned on under the seat, but the engines are off, ie, ignition off on the dash?
Cheers

I had my boat in a shop once that left the ignition on for 3 days, racking up 75+ hours on the gauge. Solution was to disconnect the hour meter on that one motor, run it for a year and when it got close to the other gauge reconnect it. Not exactly scientific but I got it within an hour of what was really on the motor.

OK. I took the scientific method. The hours were out by two on either side.
We plugged the Mercury computer in to check it.
I can't believe I racked up 60 hours this year. But I did !
