Went to a marina today to see how many hours on my motor and they told me to turn then key on and what ever the needle goes up to is how many hours are on it..I did not even humor them because i know this is not true...Then they tried to hook up a palm pilot to it and all of there software was mysteriously missing so they couldn't even do that....Needless to say i won't be going back there anytime soon....Is there any way to find out how many hours are on the motor besides going to the dealer to hook up there computer............chris c
