You can try the following link. They supply Volvo parts, but I didn't
see any mention of hour meters. They would surely know where to get one.

Volvo Penta, Mercruiser and more - Marine Parts Express - engines,
outdrives, propellers

Just offhand, it seems unlikely that the meter would be wired in series
with anything. It probably should see a full 12 volts when the ignition
is on. Check your engine documentation if you are unsure about wiring
the hour meter.

Good question about picking up elapsed engine hours. My guess (exactly
that) is the odometer law for automobiles doesn't apply to hour meters
on boats. Keep a record in your engine log of elapsed hours at the time
of replacement. Presumably, the log already shows various maintenance
events and corresponding elapsed hours. That ought to satisfy a
prospective buyer.

Good luck.
