Looking at a V-P engine, serial no - 4110151197. Motor is still in boat. Hour meter says 43 hrs, boat is used infrequently, last service records show same 43hrs back in 2009.

V-P service mechanic at dealership says that the true engine hours can be extracted with appropriate diagnostic plug from Engine Control Module (ECM), at a cost of course ...

How is this done? What is involved? Can I do this myself, by downloading the appropriate software on my laptop and getting a diagnostic plug?
