CONTINUED OPERATION OF AN OVERHEATED ENGINE CAN RESULT IN ENGINE SEI-
ZURE. IF AN UNUSUALLY HIGH TEMPERATURE READING OCCURS, SHUT THE ENGINE
OFF IMMEDIATELY. THEN INVESTIGATE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter displays the voltage for the batteries and the charging system. The normal voltage
is 11 to 12 volts with the engine off, and 13 to 14.5 volts with the engine running.
Hour Meter
The hour meter keeps a record of the operating time for the engine.
Engine Alarms
Most outboards are equipped with an audible alarm system mounted in the helm area that monitors
selected critical engine systems. The alarm will sound if one of these systems begins to fail. Refer
to the engine owner’s manual for information 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 Gauge
Fuel management systems are optional equipment with some outboard engines. On Yamaha
®
engines, the fuel management gauge is a multifunction gauge used to monitor the gallons per hour,
miles per gallon, and total gallons used. If you have a fuel management system installed on your
boat, please refer to the engine or fuel management manual for information on that system.
Tilt/Trim Gauge
The tilt/trim gauge monitors the position of the outboard engine. 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.
Please refer the engine owner’s manual for more information on the operation of the power tilt and
trim.
Compass
The compass is on top of the helm. To adjust the compass for your area, read the instructions on
“Compass Compensation” given to you in the literature packet. 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.
