Fuel Gauge
This gauge indicates the approximate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank when the ignition is in the “ON” position.
NOTICE: DO NOT run the tank to empty. To prevent condensation from forming in the tank, it is recommended that the tank be filled when the gauge indicates 1/4 tank of fuel remaining.
The following conditions may be considered normal operation of the fuel gauge and fuel system:
-Gas station pumps may shut off before the fuel gauge indicates FULL.
-The amount of fuel required for
-The gauge needle may not move away from FULL until some time after
-The gauge needle may move around when boat is in motion.
NOTICE: Become familiar with engine hourly fuel consumption at various speeds and know when to check the fuel gauge.
Speedometer Paddle Wheel
The Speedometer pickup is a paddle wheel located on the bottom of the boat. Poor water conditions may cause the wheel to become clogged or give incorrect information.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter indicates whether the battery is charging or discharging. The needle should be located in the normal range while the engine is running.
If the voltmeter does not register in the normal range, there may be a problem within the electrical system. It is normal for the voltmeter needle to fall when starting the engine. Normal range is 12 to 14 volts.
Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge indicates the oil pressure in the engine while the engine is running.
If the oil pressure remains below the normal range of 20 to 80 psi, stop the engine immediately. If engine is allowed to run while oil pressure is too low, permanent engine damage may occur.
Running the engine with low oil pressure may cause severe engine damage.
