Engine Detection
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- detect electrical noise corresponding to one or more engines starting or running;
record a first timestamp corresponding to the engines starting or running;
detect that the engines have stopped;
record a second timestamp corresponding to the engines stopping; and
use the first and second timestamps to determine engine runtimes.

Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, may cause the computer to detect electrical noise corresponding to one or more engines starting or running. The computer may record a first timestamp corresponding to the engines starting or running. The computer may detect that the engines have stopped. The computer may record a second timestamp corresponding to the engines stopping. The computer may also use the first and second timestamps to determine engine runtimes.

12. An apparatus for displaying marine electronic data, comprising:
-
one or more processors; a screen configured to display marine data; and memory having a plurality of executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; detect electrical noise corresponding to one or more engines starting or running; record a first timestamp corresponding to the engines starting or running; detect that the engines have stopped; record a second timestamp corresponding to the engines stopping; and use the first and second timestamps to determine engine runtimes. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A method for detecting engine hours, comprising:
-
detecting electrical noise corresponding to an engine running, wherein the engine is connected to a direct current (DC) electrical system and the electrical noise is detected by a computerized device connected to the electrical system; monitoring the electrical noise to determine the amount of time that the engine is running; and storing a record, on the computerized device, of the amount of time that the engine is running. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
