While running under normal conditions, the bow should be in a 3º to 5º upwards angle to
maximize the hull’s ride and performance. When sea conditions are rougher than
normal, using engine trim to bring the bow slightly down will help to improve boat ride,
and plane at lower speeds.
When storing or transporting your boat, always tilt the engines out of the water, using the
tilt controls at the helm, or the engine tilt controls located on the side of the outboard
engine.
3.5 ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION
Your boat is equipped with Yamaha’s digital engine system, which displays all traditional
gauge readings, as well as engine diagnostics and warnings. With this system, one
display can show readings from what would normally be many gauges.
IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE YAMAHA DIGITAL ENGINE
SYSTEM, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO READ THE YAMAHA
ENGINE MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the number of revolutions per minute (RPM) that the engine is
turning. It is important to become familiar with the operating range of your engine and its
operating characteristics. By monitoring the engine speed on the tachometer display, the
operator can make adjustments to accommodate for changing sea conditions. The
tachometer is also extremely helpful for troubleshooting engine problems.
Speedometer
Th
e speedometer indicates the boat’s speed. Your boat uses a pitot tube system to
determine engine speed. This system uses water pressure across a tube mounted on
the transom of your boat to determine engine speed. In the event that erroneous speed-
readings appear, it is likely caused by debris clogging the pitot tube. If this is the case,
contact your dealer, as your pitot tube will need to be cleaned.
It is important for the operator to monitor the boat speed at all times in relation to the sea
conditions. Your boat is designed to plane and cruise at specific speeds, and monitoring
the speedometer will help optimize the performance and fuel economy of your boat.
Temperature Gauge
Your digital engine display shows the temperature of the engines while running. Sudden
variations in engine temperature can cause major engine damage if left ignored. Your
digital engine display will display a warning if the engine temperatures become
excessive, however it is best to monitor engine temperature as well.
MAJOR ENGINE DAMAGE CAN RESULT FROM EXCESSIVE
ENGINE TEMPERATURES. IF THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE
BECOMES EXCESSIVE, OR THE DIGITAL ENGINE DISPLAY
SHOWS A WARNING, IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE ENGINES
AND CHECK THE COOLING SYSTEM FOR OBSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE RESUMING OPERATION.
