NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED
OPERATION RPM OF THE ENGINE. MAINTAINING
MAXIMUM, OR CLOSE TO MAXIMUM RPM FOR
EXTENDED PERIODS CAN REDUCE THE LIFE OF
THE ENGINE.
Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge indicates the temperature of the engine
cooling system. A sudden increase in the temperature could sig-
nal a blocked cooling passage or a water pump malfunction
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.
Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge monitors the engine lubrication system
pressure. The oil pressure indicated when the engine is new is
usually the reference for normal oil pressure for that engine.
A drop in oil pressure is a possible indication of oil pump
problems, a leak or fuel diluted oil..
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.
This gauge is merely a relative indication of the available fuel
supply and not a calibrated instrument.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter displays the voltage for the battery and the charg-
ing system. The normal voltage is 11 to 12.5 volts with the
engine off, and 13 to 14.5 volts with the engine running.
Hour Meter
The hour meter keeps a record of the operating time for the
engine. The hour meters are typically built into the engine
electronic monitor and display panel.
Rudder Position Indicator (Optional)
The rudder position indicator shows the current position of
the rudders. The rudder indicator gauge is not a calibrated
instrument and is intended to show the approximate position
of the rudders, primarily as a reference when maneuvering in
tight quarters. Wind and currents will cause a deviation in the
rudder indicator reading.
Depth Gauge (Optional)
The depth gauge indicates the depth of the water below the
bottom of the boat.
Fuel Management
Fuel management systems are optional and could be installed
on your boat. The fuel management gauge is used to moni-
tor the gallons per hour and also total gallons used. Some
fuel management systems are built into the engine electronic
monitor and display panels. If you have a fuel management
system installed on your boat, please refer to the engine or fuel
management manual for information on that system.
Engine Alarm
Most inboard engines are equipped with an audible alarm sys-
tem mounted in the helm area 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 informa-
tion on the alarms installed with your engine.
If an engine alarm sounds, immediately shut off the engine
until the problem is found and corrected.
Cat Marine Power Display (MPD)
The Cat Marine Power Display for each engine is installed with
most Caterpillar engines. It is a simple to operate, self-con-
tained engine monitoring and display system that provides more
information to the operator than previously available engine
monitoring systems. It monitors RPM, oil pressure, coolant
temperature, battery voltage, turbo boost pressure, transmis-
sion temperature, transmission pressure, fuel consumption and
water in the fuel filter. If there is a problem with one of these
systems, it will sound an alarm and a diagnostic flag appears
on the screen until the problem is found and resolved.
A configuration screen and sealed control buttons allow the
operator to select different users, English or Metric units, and
the type of display format. Screen format options include
simulated gauge, digital, and bar graph. Additionally, you
can view current engine totals for the current trip or the life of
the engine. Refer to the Cat Marine Power Display owner’s
manual for detailed information on the features and operation
of MPD.
Compass
The compass is on the forward flybridge, forward of the helm.
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 be-
cause 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 electron-
ics are installed and before operating the boat.
Instrument Maintenance
Electrical protection for instruments and ignition circuitry is
provided by circuit breakers located on the engines. The igni-
tion switch and instrument wire connectors should be sprayed
periodically with a contact cleaner/lubricant. The ignition
switch 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.
