4-in-1 Multifunction Gauge
The multifunction gauge contains four gauges into one. This
includes engine oil pressure, battery voltage, engine water tempera-
ture and trim.
The oil pressure gauge is an accurate indicator about what is
going on inside your boat’s engine. Any serious problem with
your engine will likely be indicated on this gauge. Check the
reading when the engine is new, and use it as the reference point
during the life of your engine. Also, check with your Chaparral
dealer for the normal pressure reading for your boat’s engine.
The voltmeter indicates battery voltage. When the engine is
running, the meter should read between 12 an 15 volts. A signifi-
cantly lower reading may indicate a battery or alternator problem
or a heavy drain on the battery. If the voltmeter display fluctu-
ates, the alternator may not be charging properly.
The water temperature gauge indicates the temperature of the
cooling water circulating inside your engine. A thermostat keeps
the temperature of the water at a preset temperature. If the tem-
perature raises or continues to rise above normal, shut down
your engine and determine the cause of the high temperature.
The trim gauge indicates the angle of the engine outdrive. This
gauge will assist in the planning and overall performance of
your boat.
Depth Finder
The depth finder measurers the depth of the water from the bottom of
your boat. See the manufacturer’s instruction manual for details. The
depth finder is built into the tachometer.
Compass
The compass indicates the direction or heading in which your boat is
traveling. Have the compass calibrated by an experienced technician.
See the manufacturer’s instruction manual for details about proper
operation and maintenance.
VHF Radio
Some models are equipped with a VHF Radio. Refer to your
owner’s manual packet for instructions and warranty information.
GPS
Some models include optional GPS. Our GPS units combine relia-
bility and ease-of-use operation to help you get the most out of your
time on the water. Refer to owner’s manual packet for instructions
and warranty information.
Multifunction Navigation Display System
An optional high performance multifunction display is available on
select models. Chaparral provides one of the most powerful multi-
function navigation display systems available for recreational boating.
Boat owners will have access to performance features such as 3D
chartplotting, HD digital technology, Sirius Satellite Radio and more.
Windlass System
Some models come equipped with a windlass option. (See Figure 4.1)
Your anchor can be raised and lowered with the windlass system by a
toggle switch located at the helm or by two separate foot switches
located at the bow of the boat. It is important to remember to use the
anchor safety lanyard on the anchor chain when anchor is in fully
retracted position. By attaching the lanyard clasp to one of the chain
links, you are protecting your boat from any incidental damage from a
swinging anchor.
Note: When anchor is in the up position and locked in slot, be
sure to secure the anchor to the deck before getting underway.
