Reading hours off of older Nautiques

[03SANTE]

When I bought my 03 the hour meter was malfunctioning (still is) and the seller had a dealer verify the hours which they said they "pulled directly from the engine". (Excalibur 330) Does anyone have experience doing this and if so, what do you need to read the codes and where is the hookup? Thanks in advance!

Someone can confirm, but can't you check them on the perfect pass display?

I've looked on there and I don't believe mine has an hour meter. It's the original one as well.

You should be able to get to it by pressing the "Menu" and "Up" Buttons at the same time. here is a link to the manual.

Thank I will certainly check that out but I think I already explored that and it can unfortunately be reset.

IIR, the dealers typically have an engine diagnostic tool that interfaces to the ECU to read codes, etc. One function is that it can pull the ECU recorded running hours. Again...from memory....this is not a PCM tool but just a spendy diag tool available to mechanics and others who want to pony up the $$$.

Likely can seach the archives to locate the exact tool name.

I'd suspect this tool to be accurate unless the ECU's been swapped out....

Thanks. Maybe it's a simple thing and I can just have our local marina do it. Not an emergency just wanted to see where I am. Appreciate the leads!
