Instrument Maintenance
Electrical protection for instruments and ignition
circuitry is provided by a set of circuit breakers located
near the main battery switch. The ignition switches
should be sprayed periodically with a contact
cleaner/lubricant. The ignition switches and all
instruments, controls, etc. should be protected from
the weather when not in use. Excessive exposure can
lead to gauge and ignition switch difficulties.
Fuel Management
Fuel management systems are standard equipment with
some outboard engines. On Yamaha engines, the fuel
management gauge is a multifunction gauge used to
monitor the gallons per hour, miles per gallon, total
gallons used.
If you have a fuel management system installed on your
boat, please refer to the engine or fuel management
manual for detailed information on that system.

Compass
Your boat is equipped with a binnacle style compass. To
adjust the compass for your area, read the instructions
on “Compass Compensation” given to you in the
literature packet. The compass cannot be adjusted
accurately at the factory as it must be compensated for
the influence of the electrical equipment and electronics
unique to your boat. Therefore, the compass should be
adjusted by a professional after the electronics and
additional electrical accessories are installed and before
operating the boat.
