Hours going up while boat is not running

[dhanni848]

The clock shouldn't be running while the engine is off. With that said, I was always curious how some boats are so low on hours. With two one week vacations this year, we are over 100 hours. We pull those kids from almost sun-up to sundown.

Easy ( and fun ) to put hours on!

I agree on the low hours. Mine had a bit over 460 when I bought it in Feb or March, and now has about 523 (a guess since I only looked right with I took off Saturday, and forgot to look after haha). I have changed nothing from the previous owner, but I know there is no way I have put that many hours on it. We cruise, but not far, I wakeboard, but only about 15-20 min here and there, and we surf, but the longest run we did for that was about 2 hours. We don't tube often, and no one else really boards that much. I HAVE to remember to look at the dumb gauge, just not really my priority once I get out on the water.

I watched mine this weekend....I hit stop twice, once to kill the engine and another to kill the gauges. Takes a minute but evetually the hour meter reads 0.

So should I try hitting stop 2 times then you think? Can't hurt I guess.
