Author	Topic:   Hourmeter Brands
seareid	posted 04-29-2006 10:59 AM ET (US)         I have an 2003 Mercury 125 two-stroke on my 180 Dauntless. I want to purchase and connect an hourmeter for maintenance purposes. What brand of hourmeter is recommended? I don't really want to drill a hole in the console, so I'm currently planning on mounting or storing it in the console. I'd rather pay a little more and purchase a quality unit. Thanks to all. Reid

That's a good thing (see my current post in this section). If you want to put the hour meter in the console, Teleflex-Morse has good ones. They are probably really made by Veeder-Root or somesuch.
