5.6.4 Voltmeter
The voltmeter displays the amount of charge in the engine’s battery (or
pair of batteries, if your boat has Volvo D12 engines). As a battery is
used, its indicated voltage decreases. Each engine battery has its own
voltmeter. Refer to 2.1.5 Monitoring Battery Voltage Levels for
details on operating the voltmeters.
5.6.5 Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge displays the approximate amount of fuel in the engine’s
fuel tank. This gauge is not calibrated and should not be regarded as an
accurate method of measuring the amount of fuel in the tank. Both fuel
gauges are “OFF” until the ignition switch for the port engine is turned
to the “ON” position.
5.6.6 Gauge Maintenance
The gauges on the bridge helm instrument panel should be protected
from the sun and weather when not in use. The gauges are not water-
proof. 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.
