PROPULSION SECTION 5
If the alarm sounds after the engine has been running for a while, or if the
alarm is not silenced within 15 seconds after starting the engine, 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.
Voltmeters
The voltmeters display the amount of charge in the engine batteries. As the
battery is used, its indicated voltage decreases. Each engine battery has its own
voltmeter. Refer to Section 2 - Monitoring Battery Voltage Levels for details on
the operating the voltmeters.
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.”
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. Protecting 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.
