Instrumentation
Compass
The compass on the 25 Walk is located on the dash on top of the
console. To ensure that the compass light is working properly, press
the Nav. lights switch in the forward position to turn on the red LED
light inside the compass. When finished, turn the Nav. lights switch
back to the middle/off position.
Please refer to the owner’s manual provided by the manufacturer of the compass for operational
procedures and for information related to the care and maintenance of their product. When in doubt,
always defer to the compass manufacturer’s instructions and/or recommendations.
Horn
The horn switch is located on the switch panel and the horn device is located on the starboard side of the
top cap, just aft of the starboard portlight.
Depress the horn switch to the up or forward position to activate the horn, then release the horn switch to
deactivate the horn. The horn is used to signal, warn or alert other boats or persons on shore. Using
different sequences of horn blasts indicates different and sometimes dangerous situations to you or
someone around you.
See the Safety section in this manual for more information. Avoid any horn use without an appropriate
purpose. Additional information regarding audible warning signals should be covered in a safe boating
course.
Full Instrumentation / Gauges
All gauges are installed on the console but the configuration and specific location of your gauges will vary
depending upon the selection of the various optional engine packages. If your engine package includes
analog gauges (i.e., Faria), the gauges will light up when the navigation lights are on. If your engine
package includes digital gauges provided by the engine manufacturer (i.e., Mercury SmartCraft, Honda,
Yamaha, etc.), the gauges will light up only when the engine is on.
Note: For boats rigged with analog gauges (i.e., Faria), the gauge configuration may
include individual gauges for temperature, trim, volts and fuel gauges or a multifunction
gauge that includes these 4 gauge functions. For boats rigged with digital gauges, the
temperature, trim, volts and fuel gauges are incorporated into the tachometer gauge.
Tachometer
The tachometer (tach) gauges are located on the console. To ensure the tach is working properly, simply
turn the ignition key on and start the engine. While the engine is idling, the tach should be reading in the
proper RPM range recommended for the engine. Your engine manual will indicate the appropriate RPM
range. When you are running at wide-open throttle, the tach should read near the top end of the
recommended RPM range.
If the RPM readings are working correctly and the engine throttle settings are correct, the tachometer is
operating properly. If the tachometer is not reading correctly, refer to the manual provided by the
manufacturer of the gauge that was included in your owner’s package.
Speedometer
The speedometer (speedo) is located on the console. To ensure that the speedo is working properly, get
the boat on a planing speed and check to see if it is reading at the approximate running speed at which
the boat is traveling.
