GAUGE OPERATION
Tachometer
The tachometer (tach)
indicates the speed of
the engine in revolutions
per minute (rpm). The
tachometer allows you to
monitor the engine speed
so you do not exceed the
recommended limits of
the engine manufacturer.
Selected tachometers
have built in hour meters.
The oil pressure gauge
indicates the pressure of
the oil inside the engine
lubrication system. A
drop in oil pressure may
be an indication of a low
oil situation or a leak.
Continued operation of
the engines with low oil
pressure could lead to
engine damage. Refer to appropriate manufacturer’s engine
manual for more information..
Oil Pressure
Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge
monitors the cooling
system of the engine.
A sudden increase in
the temperature could
be a sign that the
engine cooling system
is malfunctioning.
Shut down the engine
i m m e d i a t e l y a n d
investigate the problem. Consult your engine manual for
allowable limits.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates
the level of fuel inside
the fuel tanks. It is a
good idea to keep the
fuel tanks “topped off”
when possible to reduce
fuel vapors inside the
tank. Do not run the
fuel level close to empty.
Figure in an adequate “safety” factor when monitoring fuel
gauges since they are not entirely accurate.
Depth Gauge
The depth gauge
indicates the water
depth under the keel
of the boat. It features
a shallow water alarm.
By monitoring the water
depth closely, damage
related to props and
underwater hardware
can be avoided.
Speedometer
The speedometer is
used on selected models
indicates kilometers
per hour and miles per
hour by measuring water
pressure against a small
hole in a device mounted
under the boat. Consult
the owner’s information
packet on speedometer maintenance.
