two hr gauges

[baedriver]

I was wondering if anyone knew why there is an hour gauge on the dash and also one on the tach. the hour gauge on the dash says 120.3 and the other one says 33.2 anyone know what that means

RE: two hr gauges

I know on the tach in the multi-function part of it you have your regular "hour" guage and your "hour left" guage, but I don't know of any just "hour" guage on the dash on the new Nautiques. How old is yours?

it is a 1997 196 with all analoge gauges there is a hr gauge on the right and one and the bottom of the tach. I am purchasing this boat I owned a supra and wanted to upgrade.

The tach gage may have been replaced with a new gage that included an hour meter also. Do they both change? One may no longer be operable.

What labatt said makes sence... There may be 120 hrs on the boat since new, but only 33 since the new tach. You'd know if its a new tach w/ the multifunction feature if its big and got that yellow needle and press the "M" button to cycle through features.

Sounds like you got a newer replacement tach, the 98+ went to digital hour gauges in the tach. Our '99 Sport Nautique had one. It probably wouldn't be the multi-function gauges, since those would require quite a bit of extra wiring and I don't think that the 03+ gauges would match too good...

I attached a Pic of my old tach looked like. Let us know if this is the gauge in question.

the gage looks similar to that but it does not have a digital readout and the hr meter is at the bottom of the gage i appreciate all the help and thanks alot for the post.
