Is there a way to check engine hours on the system check guage? It was recently suggested to me that by manipulating the ignition switch the engine hours would be displayed on the system check guage. Any info on this is appreciated!

No engine hours on the SystemCheck gauge, only on nmea2000 networked display gauges.

Keep your systemcheck gauge and the warning horn. You still can connect the motor to the boat network for the basic information on your Garmin screen.
It is my understanding that the Garmin-Evinrude software package does not have the error codes or warnings for a G1 E-TEC like yours. It will only give all the info and the warnings for the G2 models.

Rick,
That is a neat idea for mounting a guage and horn under the dash.
One that I did years back was to install the 2" SystemCheck gauge which only had the warning lights in one of the 2" holes from the old gauges and redid the dash for a display screen. The engine then had "full coverage" for warnings and the digital display for speed, rpm, etc.
