TRANSMISSIONS
The transmission has one forward and one reverse speed,
and is shifted by the shifter/throttle control handle.
V-Drives
The power generated by the engine is transmitted as
a combination of the straight inboard and the V-drive
transmission (a series of gears), which drives the shaft
coupling and the propeller shaft assembly. The propeller
shaft is supported and aligned with the engine by a thru-
hull shaft log and an outside strut.
Direct Drives
The power generated by the engine is transmitted to the
propeller via the direct drive transmission, a shaft coupling
and the propeller shaft assembly. The propeller shaft is
supported and aligned with the engine by a thru-hull shaft
log and an outside strut.
Propellers
The propeller installed on your Tigé boat was selected
because of its diameter and pitch to provide the optimum
speed and performance under average conditions of load.
The propeller selection must be based on the ability of the
engine to turn the propeller and achieve the manufacturer’s
recommended RPM at full throttle.

STRUT AND BEARING
The propeller shaft is supported on the outside of the hull
by a strut. The strut is equipped with a water-lubricated
plastic bearing to allow the propeller shaft to rotate in the strut.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Your Tigé boat is equipped with a direct current (DC) system
which is battery-powered and supplies electricity to lights,
pumps, blowers, engine ignition and accessories. The
alternator from the engine produces alternating current
(AC) and converts it to DC, which provides power while the
engine is running and also charges the battery or batteries,
if your boat is equipped with more than one battery.
The electrical system is controlled by the battery disconnect
switch, located in engine compartment and MAIN switch
on breaker box. The electrical system is protected by circuit
breakers on the breaker box. The breaker box is located
under the dash. Make sure the battery disconnect switch
and the MAIN switch on breaker box are both ON and make
sure no breakers are tripped. Run fingers over breaker face
and reset any tripped circuit breakers.
