The voltage gauge indicates whether the battery in your boat is charging or discharg-
ing. The needle should be located in the normal operating range which is 12 to 14.5
volts while the engine is running. If the voltage does not register in the normal range,
there may be a problem within the electrical system. It is normal for the voltage to
fall when starting the engine.
The engine temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature while the
coolant is circulating inside the engine. Normal operating temperature is between
170 degrees Fahrenheit and 194 degrees Fahrenheit. Engine operating tempera-
tures may vary depending on the weather conditions and engine load at the current
time of boating. See Engine Operator’s Manual for more information.
The oil pressure gauge indicates the oil pressure in the engine while the engine is
running. The oil pressure is measured in pounds per square inch (psi). The oil pres-
sure will vary depending on the RPM of the engine. See Engine Operator’s Manual
for more information on proper oil pressure readings.
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the revolutions per minute (RPM), of the motors shaft out-
put. This output may be used as an alternative to a speedometer depending on the
load weight and the water conditions. Do not exceed the recommended RPM during
break-in and normal operation of the engine. Exceeding the suggested RPM may
cause damage to your engine. See Engine Operator’s Manual for more information.
Speedometer
speedometer indicates the water speed of the boat in miles per hour. It is recom-
mended that the speedometer be checked for accuracy periodically.
Speedometer Paddle Wheel
The speedometer pickup is a magnetic paddle wheel located on the bottom of the
boat. The speedometer receives an electrical signal generated by the rotating pad-
dle wheel pickup to display the forward speed of the boat. The paddle wheel must
be able to rotate freely and must be free of all debris in order to provide an accurate
signal to the speedometer.
