New to me 2006 Honda BF225. The tachometer hour meter is inoperable on my boat so I only have the time the former owner relayed to me from the prior reading. The tach does not currently display hours and is working intermittently so I am going to replace all of the gauges due to their age. My question is can I read true hours from the ECU on the engine? I found a OBDSTAR ISCAN that is compatible but wondering if anyone has experience with reading ECU hours or using the ISCAN with a Honda ECU? Reader is $250 so not too terribly expensive considering the motor is on good condition and I will be performing all of the maintenance.
Boat is a Robalo R227. I just swapped out the water pump, thermostats, bypass valves, plugs, fuel and oil filters, oil and lower oil. From what I can tell the motor looks like a 300 hour motor that had limited saltwater exposure. I have not yet run a compression test but motor runs well.
