Controls and Indicators
•Oil Pressure - Measures the pressure of the engine’s lubricating oil. Refer to the engine manual for normal operating pressure. Many serious engine problems are reflected on oil pressure gauge readings. If the pressure is lower than the manufacturer’s specification, immediately turn OFF the engine. Contact your Nautique dealer to correct the problem before operating the engine.
•Tachometer / Hour Meter - Registers engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). Use the tachometer to keep the engine within the proper operating range. Consult the engine manual for the proper RPM operating range of your engine. The hour meter LCD display registers accumulated engine operating time. Time will not be logged unless the ignition switch is on and the engine is running. Use the hour meter to keep accurate logs for scheduled maintenance.
•Speedometer - Your Nautique is equipped with a precision speedometer by Faria. This gauge registers forward speed in miles per hour (optional kilometers per hour). The speedometer is equipped with an adjustment knob to calibrate speedometer accuracy. You can also use this gauge to monitor fuel consumption and propeller performance.
•Engine Warning Light - Indicates high engine temperature. If light illuminates, stop engine and investigate for cause.
•Service Soon Light - For quality control check. When ignition is turned on without cranking the engine, the red “check engine” light will turn on for a few seconds and then turn off. The amber “Service Soon” light will turn on and stay on until either the engine is started or the ignition is switched off. When the engine is running both lights will be off. The amber “service soon” light will come on if there is a problem with the catalyst system. The red “check engine” light will come on for all other engine realted problems.
