Default Hour Meter?

I cannot find it on my '85 Seville. I've got most of the interior out and still haven't found it. Did it have one?

Many boats don't have them. If its not on the dash, you don't have it.

No gadget or gizmo is a waste of time. Besides, they start at zero dont they?

Your boat is 22 years old....
You have no way to know how many hours are on the engine & ya never will.....
At this point it is a waste of time....
Invest your money in a compression tester & a vacuum gauge, they will tell ya way more than an hour gauge at this point.....

You missed the point of what I said. Yes, I already have all of the above and agree. An hour meter is more like the odometer on my motorcycle.
