going over my new (to me) boat and cant find any hour meter on the motor. its a 1999 merc 125.  is there an hour meter on this engine?

I dont know that ive ever seen an hour meter on a two stroke.  You probably dont have one.

Nope, no hour meter. 

I'm not sure about the merc's but if it's a EFI or Opti-Pop motor, it's possible the ECM may have the hours stored in it but you would need the service software or have a dealer read them.  The Evinrude DFI motors track the hours and percentage's of what rpm ranges it's operated at. 

If it's a carbutated motor, you would have to install your own hour meter, and possibly even if a EFI.
