How many hours on the motor?
According to DF150 service manual, for those boats that don't have an hour meter on the tachometer, the indication of the hours is exactly as was described to you. For three seconds, the tach will show the hours with key ON (before starting engine). Below 50 hours, nothing will show, then 500 rpm = 50 hrs, 600 rpm = 60 hrs, etc.

Then, when you get to 500 hours, it's a combination of the rev-limiter lamp flashing and the tach indication. Each flash of the lamp indicates 500 hours. So for 540 hours, the rev-limiter lamp would flash once and the tach would show 400 rpm. For 1040 hours the lamp would flash twice, and the tach would show 400 rpm, etc.

The motor was purchased in the fall of 2005. About 100 hours per year, so the total is about 900 hrs. There is no tach.
Motor has performed flawlessly. Only service beyond oil, lube and filters was a new impeller this spring.
Always use synthetics.

Really a nice boat. I have a small boat as of now and I am planning to buy a new one. Please suggest that the configuration you have is nice ??

How many hours on the motor? Whats the efficiency and load ?

I usually go fishing on my boat. Suggest accordingly.

I owned the same 60 HP motor for 10 years, never had a single problem, also the motor is so quite you cannot hear any noise. I loved it
