Propulsion System
CAUTION
Yamaha tachometers also contain the engine trim
meter, oil level (2-cycle engines) or oil pressure
indicator (4 stroke engines), water pressure and
the overheat warning indicator.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED OPERATION
RPM OF THE ENGINES. MAINTAINING MAXIMUM, OR CLOSE
TO MAXIMUM RPM FOR EXTENDED PERIODS CAN REDUCE
THE LIFE OF THE ENGINES.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the boat
in miles per hour. Most speedometers measure
the water pressure against a small hole in a
pickup tube located in the engine lower unit or
mounted on the bottom of the transom. Yamaha
speedometers also contain the fuel meters and
low fuel warning light, a trip meter, a clock and
a voltmeter.
Yamaha Command Link® speedometers can
indicate boat speed via the engine pickup or an
optional GPS or depth sounder triducer, if these
options are installed in your boat. Refer to the
engine gauge and electronics operating manuals
for more information on the speedometer options
available for your boat.
Overheat Warning Indicator
The temperature warning indicates that the tem-
perature of the engine is too high. A sudden
increase in the temperature could indicate an
obstructed water inlet or an impeller failure. On
Yamaha engines the overheat warning indicator is
built into each tachometer and will start to blink
if the engine temperature is too high.
