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.
Overheat Warning Indicator
The temperature warning indicates that the temperature of the
engine is too high. A sudden increase in the temperature could
indicate an obstructed water inlet or an impeller failure.
CONTINUED OPERATION OF AN OVERHEATED
ENGINE CAN RESULT IN ENGINE SEIZURE. IF
AN UNUSUALLY HIGH TEMPERATURE READING
OCCURS, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF IMMEDIATELY.
THEN INVESTIGATE AND CORRECT THE
PROBLEM.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.
Note that some boats may be equipped with a separate analog
fuel gauge.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter displays the voltage for the batteries and the
charging system. The normal voltage is 11 to 12-volts with the
engines off, and 13 to 14.5 volts with the engines running.
Hour Meter
The hour meter keeps a record of the operating time for the
engine.
Engine Tilt/Trim Gauge
The tilt/trim gauge monitors the position of the outboard
engines. The upper range of the gauge indicates the tilt,
which is used for trailering and shallow water operation. The
lower range indicates the trim position. This is the range used
to adjust the hull angle while operating your boat on plane.
Engine Alarms
Your outboards are equipped with an audible alarm system
that monitors selected critical engine systems. The alarm
will sound if one of these systems begins to fail. Refer to
the engine owner’s manual for information on the alarms
installed with your engines.
IF THE ENGINE ALARM SOUNDS, IMMEDIATELY
SHUT OFF THE ENGINE UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS
FOUND AND CORRECTED.
Fuel Management
A fuel management system is integrated into most instrument
systems. It will typically monitor gallons per hour, miles per
gallon, total gallons used and total gallons remaining. Fuel
management systems and features are unique the engines and
instrumentation options installed on your boat.
Depth Gauge (Optional)
The depth gauge indicates the depth of the water below the
bottom of the boat.
Compass
All boats are equipped with a compass on the top of the
instrument panel. 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. To adjust the
compass for your area, read the instructions on “Compass
Compensation” given to you in the literature packet.
Instrument Maintenance
Electrical protection for instruments and ignition circuitry is
provided by a set of fuses or circuit breakers located on each
engine. 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.
