check the engine’s oil pressure gauge. If the gauge indicates low oil
pressure, immediately shut off the engine.
Even with the low oil pressure alarms installed, it is important that you
visually monitor both oil pressure gauges while running the engines. If a
pressure gauge indicates low oil pressure, immediately shut off the
affected engine.
The engine manufacturer has established a minimum oil pressure rating
for your engines, as listed in the engine OEM information. To avoid
damaging the engines, shut them off if the oil pressure is below the
minimum rating.
5.6.4 Voltmeters
The voltmeters display the amount of charge in the engine batteries.
When a battery is fully charged, its voltmeter indicates 12.5 volts. As the
battery is used, its indicated voltage decreases. Each engine battery has
its own voltmeter. Refer to 2.1.4 Monitoring Battery Voltage Levels
for details on the operating the voltmeters.
5.6.5 Fuel Gauges
The fuel gauges display the approximate amount of fuel in the fuel tanks.
These gauges are not calibrated and should not be regarded as an accurate
method of measuring the amount of fuel in the tanks. Both fuel gauges are
“OFF” until the ignition switch for the port engine is turned “ON.”
5.6.6 Gauge Maintenance
The gauges on the helm instrument panel should be protected from the
sun and weather when not in use. The gauges are not waterproof. Pro-
tecting them from the elements prolongs their life.
NOTE: Small beads of moisture (condensation) can form behind the glass
bezel on some gauges. This does not mean the gauge is defective. The
Carver Limited Warranty does not cover the replacement of gauges that
are cosmetically affected by condensation.
The gauges can be affected by static electricity that may build up on their
glass bezels. To help reduce the static electricity and thus improve the
gauges’ accuracy, periodically wash the bezels with warm water and a
mild liquid detergent.
