Post subject:  New owner of a 2005 288 Vista with a couple questions.

Well, after a long week of waiting, we were able to get our 288 Vista delivered. Got her in our slip around noon on Saturday then proceeded to spend the rest of the day figuring out how all the ship's systems work since we didn't even have a porta potty on the last boat (2003 Regal 2200) so we had no idea how any of this worked. For the most part everything seems to be in great order for a boat that's 9 years old, but I do have a couple of questions...

1. Where are the hour meters for the engines? I have twin Merc 5.0 MPI with BIII drives. I expected to see them on the tachs as I do on almost every other boat. I was told the boat has 250 hours on the engines, and I seemed to overlook actually checking on that during the sea trial.
2. What is the easiest way to get to the auxiliary input jack on the stereo head unit?

Here's a picture one of our marina neighbors took of me driving her into the harbor. Hopefully I will have more pics to upload soon, or once I actually take her out of the slip.

On our 268, at least, the hours meter is in the engine compartment on the forward firewall, close to the automatic fire extinguisher. The engine computers should also have a log of the hours, but would require a reader to fetch the data.

Thanks. I guess I need to look around in the engine compartment a little better this weekend... Or have the shop at the marina read them.

For the aux jacks on the stereo. Do you have the clarion? If so, then there will be a red and white set of RCA jacks on the back of the head unit.
