Page: 26 / 56

● NOTE ●
Varying conditions such as flow of the tide, roughness
of the water or wind can make differences in fuel
consumption. Allow for these conditions when using
your boat to avoid running out of fuel.
Water Pressure Gauge
Registers the water circulated by the water pump in pounds per square inch
(PSI). Use this gauge to observe that the engine cooling
system is operating properly. Consult the engine manual
for the normal operating PSI range.
Trim Gauge
Measures engine tilt and indicates the relative position
of the bow, up or down when boat is on plane. Use this
gauge to monitor boat trim.
Voltmeter
Indicates the condition of the main or cranking battery in
volts DC. Normal operating range is 12+ volts.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Your boat is equipped with a 12-volt negative ground DC
system. Battery location will vary from model to model. A
single 12-volt battery supplies all electrical power. With
the addition of an optional trolling battery one battery is
used for engine cranking and systems power, and the other exclusively for
the trolling motor.
The cranking battery is recharged by the alternator when the engine is
operating. The batteries supply power to the electrical system through the
fuse block. The trolling motor batteries are not connected in any way to the
cranking battery. Trolling motor batteries must be recharged with a· battery
charger on shore.
Fuses
All Key West boats are equipped with circuits protected from an overload.
In the event of an overload or short circuit, the fuse will blow out or a circuit
breaker will trip. If a circuit continuously overloads under normal operating
conditions, have your boat inspected by the dealer immediately.
Each individual circuit is protected with a fuse located under the console
