I agree that the hole was where an hour meter would have been installed.

The boat is a one owner boat and well maintained. The owner kept records of
all maintenance and boat usage, with the boat used only an average of 10
times/season.

The engine was compression tested and had a strong showing with only 4 psi
difference in cylinder readings, ranging from 159 psi to 162 psi.

JimH,
I have to agree with someone else that the missing gauge was the hour
meter. I would wonder how many hours was on the engine. Do you know the
previous owner, who can give you an honest estimate of the engine hours?

No one told you to download the pic. You are really getting to be a pain
in the ass lately JR.

It must be a bitch having such a negative outlook all the time.

Geezus, a .85mb pic? To show us a hole? Thanks a lot.
Looks like someone pulled the hour meter.
