Engine Hours Back to Zero!

My 1985 Sea Ray 185 had a cracked instrument panel. Seemed like a simple replacement job.

I noticed that my engine hours had returned to zero after the service. Now some guys might think that's cool, but I want my meter to tell the truth. Besides, I don't want to keep service records; that's my shops job. I just want to take it in for service when the meter says it's time!

It turns out that Sea Ray had the shop replace the panel including all new instruments! So my engine hours read zero because it's a brand new instrument!

So, here's my question: Can the meter be manually advanced to the correct hours?

Put a call into Ferris Bueller.

Seriously, if you know where the last one left off, maybe you can jump some 12V power to the meter and run it up to that point. You may also be able to open it and advance it mechanically. I'd run that one by the manufacturer.

Worst case, just log your time based on your new meter.

I just watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I think it opened in 1986. I got married in 1985. Must of been on my mind because the boat is a 2005 model. Wow!

I do know where the last one left off. I guess I have to figure out how to disable the oil pressure alarm so that I can run power to panel for x number of hours.
