3070 EXPRESS

RUNNING AGROUND OR STRIKING AN UNDERWATER OBSTRUCTION CAN RE-

SULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO PASSENGERS AND DAMAGE TO THE MOTORS 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 alarms. These instruments allow the

pilot to monitor the engines’ operational conditions.

Close observation of these instruments allows the

pilot to operate the engines at the most efficient level

and could save them from serious costly damage. The

instrumentation 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.

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.

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.
