DENALI 28
1.6 Engine Instrumentation
The helm station is equipped with a set of
engine instruments and could also be equipped
with alarms. These instruments allow the
pilot to monitor the engine’s operational con-
ditions. Close observation of these instru-
ments allows the pilot to operate the engine(s)
at the most efficient level and could save the
engine(s) from serious costly damage. The
instrumentation is unique to the type of
engine(s) installed on your Denali. Some or
all of the following gauges may be present.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the speed of the engine in revolutions per minute (RPM) This speed is
not the boat speed or necessarily the speed of the propeller. The tachometer may not register zero
with the key in the “OFF” position.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED OPERATION RPM OF THE ENGINE.
MAINTAINING MAXIMUM, OR CLOSE TO MAXIMUM RPM FOR EXTENDED PERIODS CAN
REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE.
Depth Gauge
The depth gauge indicates the depth of the water below the bottom of the boat.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the boat in miles per hour.
Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows the temperature of the engine cooling system. A sudden increase in
the temperature could indicate an obstructed water inlet or a water pump impeller failure.
CONTINUED OPERATION OF AN OVERHEATED ENGINE CAN RESULT IN ENGINE DAM-
AGE OR SEIZURE. IF AN UNUSUALLY HIGH TEMPERATURE READING OCCURS, SHUT
THE ENGINE OFF IMMEDIATELY. THEN INVESTIGATE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge monitors the engine lubrication system pressure. A drop in oil pressure is
a possible indication of oil pump problems or a leak.
