Carver 350 engine meter
I have an issue with my starboard and port engine hour meters not keeping accurate hours. According to the meter, I have added 29 hours on port (this sounds correct) and only 18 on starboard.
I always run both engines, so they should be within minutes of each other.
I know you can read the actual hours off the engine but the previous owner replaced starboard meter for same concern, so obviously NOT a problem with the meter itself.
Somewhat related question, what is everyone getting economy-wise per hour? If my port meter is correct I am burning approximately 11.4 gallons per hour running at 3400 RPM. I have Mercruiser 6.2L MPI engines.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Carver 350 engine meter
I am actually in the habit of taking both keys out of the cylinder when off. That would make sense if the port engine was unusually higher, but I think the port meter is actually correct.
The starboard does not seem to be tracking correct and was already replaced once.
Thanks.

Re: Carver 350 engine meter
As mentioned my SB engine meter not tracking correctly. I noticed during cruise yesterday that my engine synch gauge shows full Port above 3000 rpm. At same time I noticed SB meter did not move at all.
Off plane the synch gauge moved off full Port and the SB meter began to clock again.
So it seems whatever is messing with my engine synch gauge also messes with engine hour meter.
Thoughts or suggestions?

Re: Carver 350 engine meter
So, could the synch gauge effect the engine hours? Or vice verse?
Battery shows charging like 14 volts underway.
So when synch gauge works the SB meter works. I’m looking for schematics to see what feeds what.
All other gauges read normal.

Re: Carver 350 engine meter
You may have to crawl behind the jump seat ... ...and follow some wires around, and check connections back there.There also may be a module between the gage and the tachs....depending on what gages you have.
