Overheat Warning Indicator
The temperature warning indicates that the temperature of
the engine is too high. A sudden increase in the temperature
could indicate an obstructed water inlet or an impeller fail-
ure. On Yamaha engines the overheat warning indicator is
built into each tachometer and will start to blink if the engine
temperature is too high.
CONTINUED OPERATION OF AN OVERHEATED
ENGINE CAN RESULT IN ENGINE SEIZURE. IF AN
UNUSUALLY HIGH TEMPERATURE READING
OCCURS, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF IMMEDIATELY.
THEN INVESTIGATE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
Fuel Gauges
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the fuel tanks.
On boats equipped with Yamaha engines, the fuel gauge is
built into the Yamaha speedometer multi-gauge. The fuel in-
dicator on the Yamaha gauge will begin to blink if the fuel in
the monitored tank drops too low.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter displays the voltage for the battery and the
charging system. The normal voltage is 11 to 12-volts with
the engines off, and 13 to 14.5 volts with the engines running.
The Yamaha engine voltmeter is built into the multifunction
speedometer. It will begin to blink if the voltage in the bat-
tery drops too low.
Hour Meter
The hour meter keeps a record of the operating time for the
engine.
Engine Tilt/Trim Gauge
The tilt/trim gauge monitors the position of the outboard en-
gine. The upper range of the gauge indicates the tilt, which is
used for trailering and shallow water operation. The lower
range indicates the trim position. This is the range used to
adjust the hull angle while operating your boat on plane. The
Yamaha engine trim indicator is built into the multifunction
tachometer. Please refer the engine owner’s manual for more
information on the operation of the outboard power tilt and
trim.
Engine Alarms
All outboards are equipped with an audible alarm system
mounted in the helm area that monitors selected critical en-
gine systems. The alarm will sound if one of these systems
begins to fail. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for infor-
mation on the alarms installed with your engines.
IF THE ENGINE ALARM SOUNDS, IMMEDIATELY
SHUT OFF THE ENGINE UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS
FOUND AND CORRECTED.
Fuel Management
Fuel management systems are standard equipment with some
outboard engines. On Yamaha
®
engines, the fuel manage-
ment gauge is a multifunction gauge used to monitor the gal-
lons per hour, miles per gallon, total gallons used and engine
synchronization.
If you have a fuel management system installed on your boat,
please refer to the engine or fuel management manual for
detailed information on that system.
Depth Gauge (Optional)
The depth gauge indicates the depth of the water below the
bottom of the boat.
Compass
All boats are equipped with a compass on the top of the in-
strument panel. The compass cannot be adjusted accurately
at the factory as it must be compensated for the influence of
the electrical equipment and electronics unique to your boat.
Therefore, the compass should be adjusted by a professional
after the electronics and additional electrical accessories are
installed and before operating the boat. To adjust the com-
pass for your area, read the instructions on “Compass Com-
pensation” given to you in the literature packet.
Instrument Maintenance
Electrical protection for instruments and ignition circuitry is
provided by a set of fuses or circuit breakers located on each
engine. The ignition switches should be sprayed periodically
with a contact cleaner/lubricant. The ignition switches and
all instruments, controls, etc. should be protected from the
weather when not in use. Excessive exposure can lead to
gauge and ignition switch difficulties.
