How do I set my dash clock?

New to the site and grabbing a bunch of great info so thanks.  Anyone out there know how to set the dash clock - 2006 342.  Any help is appreciated

Assuming it’s the same dash clock as my 06 342 it is a manual/analog clock. There should be a post sticking out of the clock that you twist to set it. May have to push in.

Thanks Liberty - I didn't notice a post but its a "new to me" boat - I'll check it out.  If not, I'll take a pic and attach

Sounds good. Full disclosure, my post doesn’t work well. It will move the large hand and stop. I don’t keep it accurately set.

Mine been at 12 o'clock for a year now.
I think a digital volt meter to monitor the house batteries is more use full.

I removed my 12 Volt socket on the dash and added this digital meter. I'm sure there's one out there like this that would fit where the clock is.

I love that idea. A quick search shows a gazillion like that available. Some replace and others just plug into the socket. Gonna get me one.

thanks - amazing I didn't see that post but all is good.  Interesting that the clocks are different.  I appreciate the help

I realize this post is a few years old but, does anyone know where I can get a knob for my 2004 342 FV clock. Also, it seems that the clock does not run unless the keys are in the on or acc position. Any thoughts?

Doubtful you could find the knob.  Maybe you could find a used clock on eBay and buy it just for the knob.  If it only works with the key on, some previous owner has plugged it into the wrong wire.
