COMPONENTS 4
This chapter describes standard and optional components factory
installed on our pleasure boats. Depending on how your boat is
equipped, it may or may not have all of the equipment described in this
chapter.
Be sure to read all operation, maintenance, and safety information
contained in each component’s manual before operation. The manuals
are in your owner’s packet.
Important: Adhere to all safety precautions in the manufacturer’s
literature when operating the components.
WARNING: When using electrical components, observe safety
precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, personal injury or
damage to your boat and/or component.
Dashboard and Instrument Panel
Instruments on the dashboard are important for monitoring the
performance of your boat and alerting you to possible problems or
causes of problems.
Most Robalo boats are equipped with a Yamaha Instrument Operation.
Please refer to the quick reference information at the end of this section
for set up and usage instructions. For boats equipped with the Command
Link Plus system, please see the component owner’s manual for
Command Link Plus provided by Yamaha.
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel in your fuel
tank. The reading is most accurate when your boat is operating at idle
speed. Be aware that you should compare gauge readings with hours of
use versus known fuel consumption because the gauge is only an
approximate reading of the amount of fuel in your boat’s tank.
The
voltmeter indicates battery voltage. When the engine is running,
the meter should read between 12 and 15 volts. A significantly lower
reading may indicate a battery or alternator problem or a heavy drain on
the battery. If the voltmeter needle moves back and forth in wide swings,
the alternator may not be charging properly.
The
tachometer indicates the operating speed of the engine in
revolutions per minute (RPM). It does not indicate the speed of your
boat moving through the water. Do not exceed the maximum full throttle
RPMs stated in the engine operator’s manual.
The
speedometer indicates the speed your boat is crossing the water in
miles per hour. Water pressure from a water pickup at the boat’s stern is
measured and converted into a reading on the speedometer.
The
compass indicates the direction or heading in which your boat is
traveling. Have the compass calibrated by an experienced technician. See
the manufacturer’s instructions manual for details about proper
operation and maintenance.
CAUTION: Compass reading may be erroneous if compensator is not
properly adjusted. Always make a deviation table and use it when
navigating with a compass.
