2865 DENALI
BOAT. IF YOUR BOAT RUNS AGROUND, EVALUATE THE DAMAGE THEN PROCEED AT
LOW SPEED TO THE NEAREST SERVICE FACILITY AND HAVE AN IMMEDIATE INSPEC-
TION MADE BEFORE FURTHER USE OF THE CRAFT. A DAMAGED BOAT CAN TAKE ON
WATER. KEEP ALL LIFE SAVING DEVICES CLOSE AT HAND WHILE DRIVING TO A
DOCK AREA. IF THE BOAT CANNOT BE IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM THE WATER,
THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE BILGE AREA FOR LEAKS SO THAT THE BOAT DOES NOT
SINK WHILE MOORED.
1.6 Engine Instrumentation
The helm station is equipped with a set of engine instruments and could also be equipped with
alarms. These instruments allow the pilot to monitor the engine’s operational conditions.
Close observation of these instruments allows the pilot to operate the engine at the most
efficient level and could save the engine from serious costly damage. The instrumentation is
unique to the type of engine installed on your Denali. Some or all of the
following gauges may be present.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the speed of the engine in revolutions per minute
(RPM) This speed is not the boat speed or necessarily the speed of the propeller. The
tachometer may not register zero with the key in the “OFF” position.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED OPERATION RPM OF THE ENGINE.
MAINTAINING MAXIMUM, OR CLOSE TO MAXIMUM RPM FOR EXTENDED PERIODS CAN
REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE.
Depth Gauge
The depth gauge indicates the depth of the water below the bottom of the boat.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the boat in miles per hour.
Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows the temperature of the engine cooling system. A sudden
increase in the temperature could indicate an obstructed water inlet or a water pump impeller
failure.
