2003 SS engine hr meter spiked to 6000 hrs?

[Twestfall]

The hr meter on my boat started at exactly 6000 hrs when I summarized it. It had/has in the 550-600 hr range on it. The meter continues to work as normal but just keeps adding to the the 6000hrs. Has anyone seen this and is there a way to reset it or can the dealer plug into it to see the actual hrs? Looking to sell the boat to upgrade to a 230 but who is going to want a boat with 6000 hrs! Lol. It is an 03 Super Sport, 330 engine and Faria gauges. Thanks!

I'd be interested in what the Diacom shows as far as engine hours. If that shows 6000 as well, a call to PCM may be in order.

You sure there is not a decimal in there that your not seeing? Every hour meter Iv seen provide 1/10ths so it could be showing you 600.0 which would be normal traditionally. I don't know about the 2003 gauges though Iv never owned one so not 100% sure.

I'm definitely not missing decimal point. I'll get a picture this afternoon. I'm going to try and see if the dealer can read the engine also. Will post what that reads

They were able to get the hrs off the engine. 636.1. Meter reads 6097.5. At least I have a starting point. But they did not have a way or idea to get them matched back up

My 03 SANTE just did the same thing. Jumped from a decimal point to 6017 hours when is should be around 580 or so. How did you get the hours off the engine?

thanks!

I had to take it to the dealer and they hooked up a computer that gave a readout out all kinds of engine data including total hrs and a breakdown of how many hrs in each rpm range.

My '03 SAN has the original gauges also, and the hour meter reads around 3,800. The Perfect Pass also has an hour meter, which reads around 700 in my case; that has to be the right number, there's no way my boat has 3,800 hours on it. Plugging into the engine is better, but if you have the original PP gauge, you can check that. HOWEVER, I'm pretty sure you can just reset the PP hour counter at any time, so, take it with a grain of salt. If it's close to the number you expect, then it's probably good. If you were buying a boat and someone tried to say it was very low hours, but their only evidence was the PP gauge... I'd want to see more.
