Full Instrumentation / Gauges
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 analog gauges (i.e., Faria), the gauges will light up when the navigation lights are on. If your
engine package includes digital gauges provided by the engine manufacturer (i.e., Mercury SmartCraft,
Honda, Yamaha, etc.), the gauges will light up only when the engine is on.
