Ventilation Blower

This switch turns on the blower in the bilge.  This blower must be turned on
for four (4) minutes prior to engine ignition and also at anytime when the boat
is operated at slow speeds.

12 Volt Plug 

This plug can be utilized to power cellular phones, video cameras or various
other electronics. This plug is powered through a ten (10) amp breaker.

Engine Warning Light 

This light is in the center of the dash pod between the speedometer and the
tachometer and indicates high engine temperature. 

Horn 

This is a momentary  switch.

Gauges

• Volt 

This gauge tells you how many volts the alternator is producing. During

normal running, it should read 13-14 volts. Running a heater, shower or
stereo amplifier will draw power from the alternator and possibly drop
voltage below normal. If this occurs, the battery will not charge correctly.

• Temp 

This tells you the temperature of the coolant in the engine. 

• Oil Pressure 

This gauge tells you the engine oil pressure.

• Tachometer / Hour Meter  

This gauge indicates the revolutions per minute the

engine is turning, and the total accumulated engine hours.  The tachometer /
hour meter has a digital and analog readout.  Mode selection is made by
pressing the mode keypad.

• Speedometer

Your Nautique is equipped with an electronic speedometer  by

Teleflex.  This instrument is different in many ways.  It is capable of being
programmed for multiple functions.  This speedometer can be calibrated.  To
access the various functions, press and scroll through the Mode Key.  To
change the mode, press the INCREASE or DECREASE key.  For a detailed
analysis of your speedometer, refer to the Teleflex speedometer section at the
end of this chapter.  

• Emergency Cut-off Switch 

There is an emergency cut-off switch for the

protection of you and your passengers.  The clip at the end of the cord must
be attached securely to the driver. Check the system by attaching the clip to
the switch, start the boat and then pull the clip off the switch. The engine
should stop. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU OPERATE
THE BOAT IF THIS SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.   If it
does not function correctly, contact your Correct Craft dealer to have the
problem corrected.
