    cannot read hours on 09 larson cabrio

    Hey guys, we have an 09 larson 350 up for sale at an auction and cannot get a reading on the hours meter. We have given it power (not started the engine) and nothing comes up on the display. The dealer said it required off shore power for a reading? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
