Full size Connext screen in a 2018. What is secret to get to total engine hours rather than “since last maintenance”.

Got to the "ruler" menu (trip) up top, between the gps and the speed icon. Scroll down, should have both engine hours listed there.

Thanks for the help! I had gone to that screen, however didn’t scroll down.

Who else has or has had massive differences between port and starboard hours on this screen?

I have about a half hour difference between them right now - happens with my oil changes when you're warming one engine up and compounds on itself as your boat gets more hours.

But you need to warm up the other engine too, just run them the same amount of time and it should stay equal.

I was aware of the possibility of hour differences so I make sure I start and stop the engines in the same sequence. I start port, pause 2 seconds, start strb. Shut down is the same - keeps the hours exactly the same 48.9 here and will be doing the second oil change myself this weekend. Didn't think I'd hit 50 this year, so I'm doing this one now, and then will do another in the spring as we'll only put on a few hours in the next month or so before winter, plus new plugs to start fresh. Then will switch to yearly oil changes every fall.
