IMPORTANT:
Always confirm fuel level before boating, and check fuel level
often. The fuel level gauge is designed to be a reference for fuel level during
usage; however, it is recommended boat operators apply the fuel usage
principle of 1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3 fuel to return to port, and 1/3 fuel for
reserve.

About Fuel Management Displays
The fuel level displays—both digital and analog—receive an update from
the electronics every 10 seconds. The programming is designed to filter out
rapid fluctuations in the fuel level when traveling at high speeds, or on rough
waters, offering a consistent, stable representation of the fuel level.

Fuel Consumption Rate
Fuel consumption rate is up-to-the-minute fuel consumption in gallons (or
liters) per hour.
For multiple outboards, each tachometer displays the consumption rate of
the individual outboard that tachometer is monitoring. The speedometer dis-
plays the combined fuel consumption rate of all outboards.
NOTE:
The fuel consumption rate can also be viewed on the tachometer.
See “Fuel Consumption Rate” on page 14.
WARNING
Running out of fuel could cause the operator of the boat
to have diminished or no control of the vessel, present-
ing a risk of personal injury to the operator, passengers,
and people who are nearby.
