3.7 Engine Instrumentation
The helm station is equipped with a set of engine
instruments and/or alarms. These instruments
allow the operator to monitor the operational
condition of the engines. Close observation of
these instruments allows the operator to operate
the engines at the most efficient level and could
save them from serious costly damage.
Most Everglades boats are equipped with Yamaha
engines and Command Link
®
Plus LCD multifunc-
tion display. This system can be integrated with
the optional electronic navigation equipment
installed on your boat. A brief description of the
Command Link Plus
®
system integrated gauges
and their basic functions are listed in this section.
Other functions that are dependent on the elec-
tronics installed on your boat may be available.
Please refer to the Yamaha engine and Command

Plus owner’s manuals and the manuals for
the electronics installed on your boat for detailed
information on the operation of the instruments
and additional functions available.
The instrumentation is unique to the type of out-
board motors installed on your Everglades.
Some or all of the following gauges may be
present.

The tachometers display the speed of the engines
n revolutions per minute (RPM). This speed is
not the boat speed or necessarily the speed of
the propeller.
The tachometer display also contains the engine
trim meters, oil pressure indicator, water pressure,
water temperature, volt meters and the overheat
warning indicator.

NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED OPERATION
RPM OF THE ENGINES. MAINTAINING MAXIMUM OR CLOSE
