Engine Hour Meter
I don't have the digital Yamaha instrument to go along with my OB, just some analog gauges and a couple of idiot lights, and no hour meter (unless it's well hidden under the cowling!). Has anyone added a simple hour meter and have any recommendations? I'd just like to keep up with usage, more or less, without have to guesstimate all the time. I saw one advertised that was battery powered and had an inductive pickup for a spark plug wire. That would be fine, as long as it has nonvolatile memory (I don't know).

@HydroCanis, you should have a Faria brand tach on your boat which in most cases has a digital hour meter on it.
Also, Yamaha makes a digital hour meter (you'd need to speak to a Yamaha dealer) to get the specifics of the one that will work with your engine and the connection point. These are typically $60-80 when you search online.

Thanks. Nope, my tach doesn't have an hour meter, unless it's only visible from the back
I'll look for that Yaha matching unit.David2003 Sundeck 217 OB, Yamaha 150 2 Stroke
