CONTINUED OPERATION OF AN OVERHEATED ENGINE CAN RESULT IN ENGINE
SEIZURE. 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 tanks. The fuel gauge switch, located on
the helm, is used to switch the gauge reading to the port or starboard fuel tank.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter displays the voltage for the battery and the charging system. The normal voltage
is 11 to 12-volts with the engines off, and 13 to 14.5 volts with the engines running.
Hour Meter
The hour meter keeps a record of the operating time for the engine.
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 outboard power tilt and trim.
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 UN-
TIL THE PROBLEM IS FOUND AND CORRECTED.
Fuel Management
Fuel management systems are standard 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, total gallons used and engine synchronization. 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.
Depth Gauge
The depth gauge indicates the depth of the water below the bottom of the boat.
