CONTROLS/INDICATORS

Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the boat in miles per hour. Be sure the speedometer pilot tube is clean
and free from debris. Also make sure the speedometer tube is not pinched and allows for proper operation of the
gauge.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge registers the fuel level in the gas tank and not gallons. In some cases, because of the shape and
size of the tank, when the gauge registers 1/2, there may be as much as 3/4 of a tank of fuel. Due to the various
conditions affecting the way a boat floats, the gauge may register differently when the boat is on the trailer, at
rest or on plane.
Engine Warning Light
Refer to your outboard motor owner’s manual for additional information.
To assist in detecting engine emergency conditions while the boat is running at speed and engine and wind
noises are high, a dash mounted, red engine warning light is provided. These will indicate a warning integrated
in the engine. The light is to provide a visual warning in conjunction with the engine audible warning for low and
burns continuously when the engine is hotter than normal running temperature. The light will blink in conjunction
with the engine audible alarm test when the ignition is first turned on.
