Just had a Bravo 3/ 6.2 MPI (2002) in for service to try to find a outdrive oil leak. Service manager told me they ran the boat in a test tank for over an hour. When I got the boat home I noticed that the engine hour meter had not budged. His response to my email concerning no hours on the hour meter while in the test tank is:

"We did have the motor hooked up to our CDS which will bypass the ECM and
not show hours ran as it is hooked up. I will do some more research on
this as the tech is off today that worked on the vessel but I would be
under the assumption that is the case but I am not a tech."

Anyone know if the CDS will bypass the hour meter? Boat has a seperate hour meter in the dash and no other digital displays (not the newer multi-function display system).

I thought the hour meter was powered by the ignition switch. IE 12V when you turn the key on. I may be wrong.

Da Taz<---I sold my hour meter. It went with the boat.

On my boat, the hour meter will display with the key on, but will not advance until the engine is running.
