DVD 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Hi everyone...just purchased a 1996 monterey 186 bowrider. Silly question, but I cannot find an hour meter to see how many hours are on the engine. Can anyone help? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can anyone help? Thanks! Kinda funny, (maybe not), but in my post I am asking the same thing. I still have not found the meter and I was kind of hoping a Monterey monitor/admin might be able to help.

midwest cruiser 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 Typically, boats of that size don't come with hour meters as standard equipment but in the event there is one, the 1st, obvious place to look is the dash. Next would be somewhere in the engine compartment. Good luck but I doubt there is one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the boat was ordered with one, it will be located on the tachometer face at the bottom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could it be in the engine bay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
