Default 99 42' Lightning Hour meter

Hey guys,

I posted about a week ago regarding my acquisition of a 42' Lightning for a debt owed to me.

I have the boat in hand and am in the process of going theough it prior to listing it for sale. I am unable to locate the hourmeter. Any idea where it may be?

Thanks in advance.

Should be in the engine compartment, Mine have been on the starboard side just below the hatch. Most likely there will only be one gauge.

Better off to put a scanner to the motors to read the hrs.

The boat is a '99, no computer to scan.

Original Invoice shows

Custom Engines*** Install Mercury 500 MPI's

These should be scannable-no?

Thank you for all of you help
