When we bought the new Eastern with a Yamaha outboard we had Dave install an hour meter. It is tied to the ignition so it monitors actual running hours. The Eastern has one of those boat fuel gauges, almost useless. As I have a good handle on average gallons per hour and keep a log book, every 30 hours or so I stop at the gas dock.
Oh and when the boat is docked, he battery switch is turned off.
