Rudder Position Indicator

The rudder position indicator shows the current position of the rudders. The rudder indicator gauge is not

a calibrated instrument and is intended to show the approximate position of the rudders, primarily as a

reference when maneuvering in tight quarters. Wind and currents will cause a deviation in the rudder indicator

reading.

Engine Alarm

Most inboard engines 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 engine.

IF AN ENGINE ALARM SOUNDS, IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE UNTIL THE

PROBLEM IS FOUND AND CORRECTED.

Compass

The compass is on top of the console. 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

because 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 are installed

and before operating the boat.

Instrument Maintenance

Electrical protection for instruments and ignition circuitry is provided by a breaker located on the engine. The

ignition switch and instrument wire connectors should be sprayed periodically with a contact cleaner/lubricant.

The ignition switch and all instruments, controls, etc. should be protected from the weather when not in use.

Excessive exposure can lead to gauge and ignition switch difficulties.
