Is there an integrated hour meter in the Yamahas?

I bought this boat with a theoretical number of hours on the clock. There is no hour meter on the boat. Is there something integrated into the Yamaha digital gauges? I have fuel, twin tachs, and a mph gauge.

Circa 1998.

Depends on the year of the motors, and the gauges that were rigged on it.

If the Tach has buttons, you can cycle through the menus and find the hours. Note - these are hours that the key is "on"...not actually hours run.

Carb'ed and OX66 motors do not have an ECU that stored the number of actual hours run. HPDI and 4 stroke motors do. This info can be downloaded via the Yamaha software and a laptop.

Thanks for the detail. My carb'd engines won't have that data. So, who knows what the real number is.
