h Fuel - Indicates level of fuel in the fuel tank, in fractions
of a full tank. The port gauge is for the standard tank.
The starboard gauge is for the optional auxiliary tank.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The fuel tank in your
3000 is not rectangular in cross section.
Consequently, the amount of fuel in the last 1/4 of the
tank level is
less than 1/4 of the fuel available in a full
tank.
Note: The engine hour meter is in the tachometer. The oil
pressure, engine temperature, volt and fuel gauges are also
clustered together.
Situated between the two helm switch panels, forward of the
steering wheel, are two indicator lights for the mid and aft bilge
pumps. These lights indicate when the bilge pumps are running.
To port of these lights is the Rudder Angle Indicator. This
indicator shows the current position of the boat’s rudders. "0"
indicates the rudders are in straight ahead position. If the
indicator is in the "red" area of the gauge, the rudders are
turnedto the port side of the boat. If the indicator is in the "green"
area of the gauge, the rudders are turned to the starboard side
of the boat.
Located inside the console are two groups of audible alarms,
one for the port engine and one for the starboard engine. These
alarms will sound for each of the following:
h High Temperature Alarm - Engine’s cooling
temperature exceeds 210
o
F.
h Low Oil Alarm - Engine oil pressure drops below 5 PSI.
h Low Volts Alarm - Battery voltage falls below 11.5 V.
