INDICATORS
NOTICE
Some boat models may be equipped with a multi-gauge
instrument which integrates the functions of several single
gauges.
Instruments are illuminated for night operation. Their type, number, and
location vary by model; some may not appear on your model.
Tachometer
Registers engine speed in revolutions per minute
(RPM). Use this gauge to keep the engine within
the proper operating range. Refer to the engine
operator’s manual for the proper RPM operating
range for your engine.
 WARNING
Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to the operator before
starting the engine. This will prevent the boat from becoming a
runaway if the operator is accidentally thrown away from the
helm.
The engine stop switch can only be effective when it is in good
working condition. Observe the following:
• DO NOT remove or modify the engine stop switch and/or
lanyard.
• Lanyard must always be free from obstructions that could
interfere with its operation.
Once a month: Check switch for proper operation. With engine
running, pull lanyard. If engine does not stop, consult your
dealer for replacement of switch.
