switch to the up or forward position to activate the horn, then release the horn switch to deactivate the horn.
Using different sequences of horn blasts indicates different and sometimes dangerous situations to you or
someone around you.
See the Safety Section in this manual for more information. Avoid any horn use without an appropriate purpose.
Additional information regarding audible warning signals should be covered in a safe boating course.
Compass
The Compass is located on the dash on top of the console. To ensure
that the compass light is working properly, press the Nav/Anc switch in
the forward position to turn on the red LED light inside the compass.
When finished, turn the Nav/Anc switch back to the middle position.
Please refer to the owner’s manual provided by the manufacturer of the
compass for operational procedures and for information related to the
care and maintenance of their product. When in doubt, always defer to
the compass manufacturer’s instructions and/or recommendations.
Full Instrumentation / Analog Gauges (Digital – Verado)
All gauges are installed on the console but the configuration and specific location of your gauges will vary
depending upon the selection of the various optional engine packages. If your engine package includes the
standard analog gauges (i.e., Faria), the gauges will light up when the navigation lights are on.
Tachometer - To ensure the tach is working properly, simply turn the ignition key on and start the engine. While
the engine is idling, the tach should be reading in the proper RPM range recommended for the engine. Your
engine manual will indicate the appropriate RPM range. When you are running at wide-open throttle, the tach
should read near the top end of the recommended RPM range.
If the RPM gauge is reading correctly and the engine throttle settings are correct, the tachometer is operating
properly. If the tachometer is not reading correctly, refer to the manual provided by the manufacturer of the gauge
that was included in your owner’s package.
Speedometer - The speedometer (Speedo) is located on the console. To ensure that the Speedo is working
properly, get the boat on a planing speed and check to see if it is reading at the approximate running speed at
which the boat is traveling.
Note: The speed-reading on the Speedo may vary a few mph from the actual speed that the boat
is traveling. Either a GPS or a radar gun can check the running speed.
Fuel - The fuel gauge reads the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. To check the fuel gauge, place a known
amount of fuel into the fuel fill and fill the tank. Turn the ignition key on and the fuel gauge should read the
approximate amount of fuel in the tank.
For example: If the fuel tank holds 70 gallons of fuel and you pumped 15 - 20 gallons of fuel into
the tank, the fuel gauge should read approximately ¼ of a tank. This ensures that the fuel gauge
and the fuel sender are working properly.
If the fuel gauge is not reading correctly, we recommend that you have the fuel sender checked by a qualified
professional before considering changing out the gauge. For more information, please refer to the Fuel/Oil
Systems section of this manual.
Trim - To ensure the trim gauge/indicator is working properly, start by making sure the engine is trimmed all the
way down. Locate the trim gauge on the instrument panel and check to see if the level on the trim gauge is in the
full down position. As you trim the engine up, watch the trim gauge and ensure that it coincides with the actual
trim of the engine. When finished trimming the engine all the way up, the level on the trim gauge should read in
the full up position.
