RUNNING AGROUND OR STRIKING AN UNDERWATER OBSTRUCTION CAN RE-
SULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO PASSENGERS AND DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR OR
BOAT. IF YOUR BOAT RUNS AGROUND, EVALUATE THE DAMAGE THEN PRO-
CEED AT LOW SPEED TO THE NEAREST SERVICE FACILITY AND HAVE AN IM-
MEDIATE INSPECTION MADE BEFORE FURTHER USE OF THE CRAFT. A DAM-
AGED BOAT CAN TAKE ON WATER. KEEP ALL LIFE SAVING DEVICES CLOSE
AT HAND WHILE DRIVING TO A DOCK AREA. IF THE BOAT CANNOT BE IM-
MEDIATELY 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/or alarms. These instruments
allow the pilot to monitor the engines’ opera-
tional conditions. Close observation of these
instruments allows the pilot to operate the en-
gines at the most efficient level and could save
them from serious costly damage. The instru-
mentation is unique to the type of outboard
motors installed on your Pursuit. 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 EN-
GINE. MAINTAINING MAXIMUM, OR CLOSE TO MAXIMUM RPM FOR EX-
TENDED PERIODS CAN REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the boat in miles per hour. Most speedometers measure
the water pressure against a small hole in a pickup tube located in the engine lower unit or
mounted on the bottom of the transom.
Temperature Warning
The temperature warning indicates the temperature of the engine. A sudden increase in the
temperature could indicate an obstructed water inlet or an impeller failure.
