Engine Hours on New Boat

[j2nh]

Curious as to what others have seen as the engine hours on new Nautiques. I picked up my new 200 a couple of weeks ago and was surprised to that the Linc system indicated 0.0 engine hours.

Is this done intentionally to monitor customer hours or does mine just have that little time on the engine? Hoping for the maiden voyage this coming Friday and if the hours are really this low, as in none, I will pay extra close attention to everything.
TIA.

It doesn't have 0 hours on it. The display will show 0 hours until the ignition is turned on. You have to enter the code, hit Start, and then hit Start one more time to bring up the ignition and ECU. Most likely the boat has 3 or 4 hours on it already from factory and dealer testing.

Mine had around 1.1 which is inline with the dealer water testing etc of the boat.

Previous boat and different brand when new had around 10 hours on it and later I found out the dealer was taking customers out on my boat!

mine usually have between 1.5-4. my 2018 G had 2.2 on it.

I thought CC water tested all their boats at the factory. I would expect at least 30 minutes on the clock.

Yup, you guys were right. 1.0 when the system came up and went online. Thanks, not used to the Linc system, this is going to take some getting used to.

Nautique puts 30-45min on each boat. The dealer probably adds some time as well.

Mine had 1.4 hours on it straight from the factory.
