Yanmar Hour meter repair & replacement 

Another grateful viewer. Thank you.

As everyone else has said this is just the best how to video! Great detail shots and perfect descriptions. Thanks for making this such an easy project!

This is one of the best tutorials I have experienced on RU-vid. I used each of Luca's detailed references and instructions to replace my LCD hour display on my boats Yanmar instrument display. The entire process took less than 10 minutes & was made easy because of this video. Thank you Lucas, great job and I am grateful.

Best yourtube repair video ever. Seriously. Well done!

Thanks so much for this excellent how-to. I tried the clean-up first but that didn't work, so I ordered the new display from Ali-Express. It was only $13 CDN all in and arrived at my home on Vancouver Island in only 10 days. It arrived from a Canadian shipping address so I am not sure if Ali Express has a warehouse in Canada, or if it was transhipped. All in all, great!

Thank you for posting. I nearly did not buy my boat because the the seller could not confirm the engine hours. I had a mechanic inspect and check the engine and I took the risk. Now I have new LCDs thanks to your post. To say that I am very happy with the outcome is an understatement. I was pleasantly surprised at how low the actual hours are, so bonus!

Very straightforward. Replaced both LCDs on our Lagoon 440. Thanks!

Lucas. Did the repair in November 2022 and it was EXACTLY as you described :) Thanks so much. MaddLiner II Vanvouer BC

Beautiful video. Good focused camera shots, white background, precise instructions, with quality audio. These are the videos which make RU-vid such a fantastic resource. Thank you for taking the time to make and post these instructions. Take a bow.

Your video has given me the confidence to tackle the repair of my VDO, thank you.

Lucas, thank you VERY much for taking the time to post this and your earlier video. With these I have the confidence to repair what I had assumed would be an extremely expensive fault.

This is amazing! We’re getting ready to sell our boat and have dealt with a broken counter for about 14 months now. Now I have the confidence to fix it so we can list with correct engine hours versus our estimation :) Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I had the same problem and it is fixed now🎉. The video is easy to follow. Thanks also for the source for the LCD. I of course, like that it was cheap, but it was even more important for me, that it did not lose the motor hours.

This is an ecellent repair tutorial. It was really easy to follow the steps. Thank you so much.

Good video, just ordered a replacement screen, after just removing my screen . I hope this is the problem, my Alt. Wire had 8 volts when tested, screen not lighting or reading at all.

Just completed this replacement using your tutorial. Works perfect, thank you so much for taking the time!

Ordered a new screen out of china on ebay, watched this video while I dismantled my Hunter 38 display, did exactly what he said and it worked perfectly!! Thanks so much for posting this. Very satisfying as you say. Cheers.

Great video! Thank you for the detailed look. I got a replacement display from Amazon and then swapped the displays in less than half an hour, for my 2006 Beneteau. The old display looked pristine with no noticeable corrosion. Lifting the old display from the left cracked the right side; but it was trash anyway. Before I started I measured the voltage with my autoranging meter but could not get a reliable DC voltage at the terminals, probably due to the very noisy alternator power. It did read 7.4 Vrms AC, which indicated some power connection; this proved to be sufficient.

Outstanding video. The attention to detail and explanations are first rate. I have the part on order...

Great job just finished putting the new display on using your instructions. I chipped the old display getting it out too.

This is a great repair tutorial.

Thanks, great clear instructions. Well done. 👍👍👍

Many thanks,very helpful, I've just changed mine with the use of your video, successfully ! John

Thanks for the video. I already purchased the new ribbon so I’ll do this over the winter at home.

This video was much more specific than the first one. And every detail that may cause an issue was explained properly. Well made video. I did swap my LCD yesterday, and one of the transparent clips for the standoff legs broke off. It does not worry me much, but you should consider not removing the clear plastic part when swapping the LCD as there is a chance that the clips may break. My RPM/hour display was manufactured in 2009.

Thanks, Lucas, I've received my new screen from AK Speedo, but wouldn't attempt this without your comprehensive guidance. I'll let you know how I get on.

It worked like a charm! Thank you!

Thank you SO much for this video, you rock!

Thank you so much ⛵️🥂

Brilliant! My hour meter now works but my rpm’s are off. Do I need to go back in and adjust the needle?

Bonjour Lucas, merci pour ta vidéo trés interessante, j'ai besoin de remplacer la premiere vitre plastique (celle qui est en contact avec l'extérieur) mon tachometre est un Volvo mais qui est fabriqué par VDO, sais tu si cette pièce existe ? Par avance merci, HM

My flat cable has a gum yellow. Have you heard about it? I am afraid to try to take out and destroy the circuit

Solid instructional video. But: what are the specs / part nrs of the little LCD? I need to order it before starting to taking the meter apart.

Hi Lucas great video, my Vdo tacho with faulty hour lcd has a much thicker plastic rim once the meter is out of the case. Is this something you have seen? I’m having trouble getting it apart Regards Geoff

in my case the numbers are visible, but almost erased.

Can you tell me what the LCD part is called so I can order it and from where?

How can i buy new lcd?
