monitor’s light should be "ON" when the ignition switch
is turned "ON."
The Halon system contains an engine shut-off circuit.
When the system is activated, the engines automati-
cally shut down. An override switch, located on the
monitor, resets the engine shut-off circuit after the
Halon system has been activated, allowing you to re-
start the engines.
When replacing components while servicing the Halon
system, you must use new components that have the
same designation or that are equivalent in their techni-
cal and fire-resistance capabilities.
Each helm station is equipped with a complete set of
gauges on the instrument panel. The gauges allow you
to monitor the operation and condition of your boat's
propulsion systems. The side of the instrument panel
that the gauges are on (port or starboard) determines
which engine (port or starboard) that the gauges are for.
Familiarize yourself with the gauges before starting the
engines for the first time.
Do not start the engines until you have read and
understood the engine OEM information.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the speed of the engine in
revolutions per minute (RPMs). This is not the boat's
speed over the water or the speed of propeller rotation.
The tachometer may not register zero RPM when its
engine’s ignition key is turned off; this is normal.
The engine manufacturer has established a maximum
RPM rating for your engines, as listed in the engine
OEM information. Do not exceed the maximum RPM.
Doing so could damage the engines.
