Temperature Gauge
This is designed to monitor the operating temperature of your engine’s cooling system. A sudden
rise from the normal should be investigated to determine if there is an obstruction in the cooling
system.
Water Pressure Gauge
This gauge measures pressure in the engine cooling system. If the pressure changes from the
norm it could indicate a complete or partial blockage in the system or a water pump problem. If
this does not return to normal, your dealer should check it to make sure the cooling system is
operating properly. NOTE: Factory rigged boats are not equipped with water pressure gauges.
Fuel Gauge
This gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. It is always prudent to follow the “rule of
thirds”, one-third of the tank to get the destination, one-third to return, and one-third in reserve.
NOTE: It is important to “calibrate” your fuel gauge during your first initial boat trip. Record the
fuel reading prior to fill up and how may gallons to top off the tank at each fill-up. Make sure the
boat is floating the same position. By subtracting the amount to top off from total fuel capacity you
can calculate gallons remaining in the tank for 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4 gauge readings.
This gauge is a measure of relative fuel supply and is not a calibrated instrument!
Voltmeter
This meter displays the voltage for the battery and charging system.
Hour Meter
The hour meter keeps a record of operating time and is very useful for scheduling maintenance.
Engine Alarms
Most outboards are equipped with several audible engine alarms. Your engine owner’s manual
will familiarize you with these and their sometimes-distinctive sounds.
Warning : If an engine alarm sounds, shut down the engine until the source of the problem is
determined.
Compass
The compass assists in determining your location by indicating your position
relative to magnetic north. For accuracy, your compass may need to be
adjusted to take into account specifics of your boat and geographic location.
Please refer to the material provided with your compass for “compensation”.
