    That's what I thought but hooked up my MEDS and can read live data but no history or hours. Might just need an update to software on my system. Thanks

    1997.5 (Pre-Production model) had engine hours.

    Thanks Don, I have the CDI MEDS software and have always been able to get hours as well as history and faults but when hooked up to a 1999 225 opti #0G804396 I can only get system info and live data, so don't know whats up with that

    Can't help much with the MEDS system, as I've never had one.
