Tachometer
Located to the left side of the dash panel, the
tachometer registers the operating speed of your
engine in revolutions per minute (RPM). This gauge
is used to provide you with information needed to
ensure the engine is kept within the engine
manufacturer’s recommended proper range of
operation. For your additional benefit, there are other
RPM monitoring capabilities available in your dash
system that will be explained later in this manual.
Also included in the gauge panel are additional
digital readings for oil, volt and hour meter. The
system defaults to these readings from the display
panel and no adjustments are possible. Be sure to
consult your engine manual for the correct range of
operation for your particular engine model.
Do not operate your boat beyond the recommended RPM
range. This could cause irreversible problems, and may not
be covered under your engine warranty.
Speedometer
The Speedometer registers speed in miles per hour
(MPH). The speedometer system consists of a thru-hull
paddle wheel speed sensor that records water
movement which sends information to a computer
located under the dash. The speedometer readings can
also be found in the digital display window of the In-
Dash graphical display located in the center of the
gauge panel. Additional information will be explained
later in this manual for this display. The speedometer is
calibrated from the factory and does not normally
require adjustment. However, from time to time it may
be necessary to recalibrate. To calibrate the
speedometer, see Speedometer Calibration in this
manual. Also included in the speedometer gauge panel
are additional digital readings for depth, air and lake
temperatures. The system defaults to these readings
from the display panel and no adjustments are possible.
