Voltmeter

The voltmeter displays the voltage for the

battery and the charging system. The nor-

mal voltage for a full charged battery is 12.6

volts with the engine(s) off and 13 to 14.5

volts with the engine(s) running.

Hourmeter

The hourmeter keeps a running total of

engine hours while operating.

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

shallow water operation, trailering and to

keep the gear case out of the water. The

lower range indicates the trim position. Trim

is used to adjust the hull angle while operat-

ing your boat on plane. Refer to 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 audi-

ble alarm system mounted in the helm area

to monitor selected critical engine systems

and functions. 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.

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 mon-

itor fuel consumption of the engines. If your

boat is equipped with this system, refer to

the engine or fuel management manual.

Instrument Maintenance

Electrical system, instruments and ignition

circuitry are protected by a circuit breaker or

fuse located on the engine. The ignition

switches and all instruments, controls, etc.

must be protected from the weather when

not in use. Excessive exposure can lead to

gauge and ignition switch failures.

Moisture may fog the inside of the gauge

lens. Turning the gauge lights on will help

dry the lenses. Fogging will normally not

harm the gauges, but if the fogging contin-

ues and moisture accumulates, the excess

water can damage the gauges. The gauges

are designed with drain holes to reduce the

accumulation of moisture. Make sure that if

a gauge is removed, it is reinstalled with the

drain holes in the proper position.

! CAUTION

If an engine alarm sounds, shut off the

engine, investigate the problem and

correct it.
