cranking battery in volts DC. See the
Engine
Operator’s Manual for the normal operating
range.

Engine Water Temperature
Gauge
The engine water temperature gauge indicates
the water/coolant temperature of the engine
cooling system. Most marine engines use
seawater to cool the engine. A sudden increase
in temperature could be an indication of a blocked
cooling passage or a water pump malfunction.
Check the gauge immediately after starting the
engine. If the temperature gauge is high, STOP
the engine immediately and see the
Engine
Operator’s Manual for corrective action.
See the Engine Operator’s Manual for the normal
operating range.
Figure 8-14
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
The engine oil pressure gauge is used on
4-stroke engines to indicate the oil pressure of
the engine. A drop in oil pressure could indicate a
problem with the engine’s lubrication system.
CAUTION! Stop the engine immediately if a
complete loss of oil pressure occurs.
Continual operation of the engine during a
complete loss of oil pressure will damage the
engine.
See the Engine Operator’s Manual for the normal
operating range.

Water Depth Gauge
The water depth gauge indicates the approximate
distance between the bottom of your boat and the
earth’s surface directly below the transducer. To
avoid running aground in shallow water, always
add extra distance to meter readings. See the
manufacturer’s instructions for installation
requirements and operating instructions.
