Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge displays the temperature of the
coolant in the engine’s cooling system. Every engine is
designed to operate within a specific temperature range.
A sudden increase in the temperature gauge reading
could indicate that the cooling water intake system has
become blocked; a water intake hose has failed; or the
coolant system's water pump has malfunctioned.
Each engine is equipped with a temperature alarm. The
alarm sounds when the temperature of the engine’s
coolant increases to a predetermined point. If the alarm
sounds, immediately shut down the affected engine.
Even with high temperature alarms installed, it is
important that you visually monitor both temperature
gauges while running the engines. If a temperature
gauge indicates excessive engine temperature, immedi-
ately shut down the affected engine.
The engine manufacturer has established a maximum
coolant temperature rating for your engines, as listed
in the engine OEM information. Do not exceed the
maximum coolant temperature. Doing so could dam-
age the engines.
Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge displays the pressure within the
engine's lubrication system. The oil pressure reading
changes as engine speed changes. However, a noticeable
decrease (either sudden or gradual) in an engine's oil
pressure while the boat is maintaining a constant speed
may indicate an oil pump failure, a leak in the lubrica-
tion system or excessive engine wear.
Each engine is equipped with a pressure alarm. The
alarm sounds when the pressure in the lubrication
system decreases to a predetermined point. The alarm
also sounds when the engine is started or when the
ignition switch is "ON" and the engine is not running.
In these situations, the engine does not yet have ad-
equate oil pressure; the alarm is silenced as soon as the
oil pressure increases to within the normal operating

A cold engine has a tendency to
stall when first put into gear. Let
your engines warm up a few
minutes before departing your
dock or anchorage.
