Rudder Position Indicator
The rudder position indicator shows the current position of the rudders. The rudder indicator gauge is not
a calibrated instrument and is intended to show the approximate position of the rudders, primarily as a
reference when maneuvering in tight quarters. Wind and currents will cause a deviation in the rudder indicator
reading.
Engine Alarm
Most inboard engines are equipped with an audible alarm system mounted in the helm area that monitors
selected critical engine systems. The alarm will sound if one of these systems begins to fail. Refer to the engine
owner’s manual for information on the alarms installed with your engine.
IF AN ENGINE ALARM SOUNDS, IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE UNTIL THE
PROBLEM IS FOUND AND CORRECTED.
Compass
The compass is on top of the console. To adjust the compass for your area, read the instructions on “Compass
Compensation” given to you in the literature packet. The compass cannot be adjusted accurately at the factory
because it must be compensated for the influence of the electrical equipment and electronics unique to your
boat. Therefore, the compass should be adjusted by a professional after the electronics are installed
and before operating the boat.
Instrument Maintenance
Electrical protection for instruments and ignition circuitry is provided by a breaker located on the engine. The
ignition switch and instrument wire connectors should be sprayed periodically with a contact cleaner/lubricant.
The ignition switch and all instruments, controls, etc. should be protected from the weather when not in use.
Excessive exposure can lead to gauge and ignition switch difficulties.
