If there is not an hourmeter in the tach or the instrument panel, or in the engine compartment, it might not have one. With the right scan tool you might be able to read engine hours, fault codes, and other info. Marine engines use a different scan tool than automotive engines, and I admit that I don't know the exact differences. I do know that most of these marine scan tools are expensive. There are a couple "gateway "devices that might be able to provide you with that data and more. Yacht Devices and Fox Marine are two sources. You might be able to add one of their devices to get this information (and more) either through a NMEA 2000 network displayed on a chartplotter or wirelessly on your device. They cost about $175 to 300 or so. Scan tools can be well ovr $500 to a few thousand. I have been tempted, but most of them are for a newer engine than my 2002 Vista. Hope this helps.
