D'oh. The hour meter on the large Yamaha outboards is electronic and
? reads directly from the computer in the powerhead.

Does anyone know if the computer only read the hours based upon when the
engine is running or will it also show hours when the key was turned to
"accessories"? I noticed my I/O hour meter runs anytime the key is turned
to the "accessory" mode, even if the engines are not running.
