GL: Engine hours

[Bob McLeran]

. . . and not always very good clocks at that. On our former trawler 
there were a total of four engine hour meters (twin diesels, two 
steering stations) which turned on and off with the key. Only one of 
them was within one minute of an actual 60 minute hour by a real 
clock/watch, the others were off by as much as plus or minus five 
minutes an hour! There was no way to adjust them, either.

So much for worrying too much about why the engines show different run 
times!
