Section 2 Boat Operation
Engine Gauges
Your boat is equipped with a number of dash-mounted
gauges that display the condition of various engine
systems.
There is a complete set of gauges for each engine.
The gauges power up when the engine ignition switch
or power toggle switch is turned to the ON position.
The engine gauges are illuminated for nighttime oper-
ation. The brightness of the gauge lights is controlled
by the dimmer switch located on the switch panel.
Refer to the engine operator’s manual for detailed
information about the gauges and their functions.
Review this general information about each gauge.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays engine speed in revolutions
per minute (RPM). You can take the gauge reading on
most tachometers and multiply by 1,000 to calculate
engine speed. Engine RPM can be used to evaluate
propeller selection, adjust boat performance, and syn-
chronize engine speeds.
Some tachometers are driven by a signal from the
engine’s battery charging system. If your engine is
running and the tachometer is reading zero, you might
have a charging system problem.
!
CAUTION
Never allow the engine to exceed the maximum
RPM listed in the engine operator’s manual.
Excessive RPM will cause extensive engine
damage.
