vibration that can be felt in the boat and can
damage the engine gear case. Refer to the
engine owner’s manual for information on
propeller removal and installation.
1.6 Engine Instrumentation
The helm station is equipped with a set of
engine instruments and alarms. The instru-
ments allow the operator to monitor the
operational conditions of the engines. Moni-
toring the instrumentation allows the opera-
tor to operate the engines most efficiently
and prevent serious costly damage. The
instrumentation is unique to the type of out-
board engines installed on your Pursuit.
Your boat may not be equipped with all of
the following gauges.
Some models may be equipped with
Yamaha Command Link Integrated Infor-
mation System®. Refer to the Yamaha
manuals for information on the operation
of this system.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the speed of the
engine in revolutions per minute (RPM). This
speed is not the boat speed or the speed of
the propeller. The tachometer may not regis-
ter zero with the key in the “OFF” position.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the
boat in miles per hour (MPH). Most speed-
ometers measure the water pressure
against a small hole in a pick-up tube
located in the engine lower unit or from GPS
in a Yamaha® installation.
Temperature Warning
The temperature warning indicates the tem-
perature of the engine. A sudden increase in
the temperature could indicate an obstructed
water inlet or an impeller failure.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate
fuel level in the fuel tanks. This gauge is a
relative indication of the fuel supply avail-
able; it is not a calibrated instrument. On
Yamaha equipped boats, fuel level is dis-
played in the speedometer.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter displays the voltage for the
battery and the charging system. The nor-
mal voltage for a full charged battery is 12.6
volts with the engine(s) off and 13 to 14.5
volts with the engine(s) running.
Hourmeter
The hourmeter keeps a running total of
engine hours while operating.
Tilt/Trim Gauge
The tilt/trim gauge monitors the position of
the outboard engine. The upper range of the
gauge indicates the tilt, which is used for
shallow water operation, trailering and to
keep the gear case out of the water. The
lower range indicates the trim position. Trim
is used to adjust the hull angle while operat-
ing your boat on plane. Refer to the engine
owner’s manual for more information on the
operation of the outboard power tilt and trim.
NOTICE
DO NOT exceed maximum recom-
mended engine RPM. Exceeding,
maintaining or close to maintaining
maximum can reduce engine life.
NOTICE
Continued operation of an overheated
engine will cause severe engine dam-
age. If the engine overheats, shut off
the engine, investigate the problem
and correct it.
