Instrumentation; Digital Gauges - Mercury Mercruiser Tow Sport 5.7 MPI Manual

Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal operation is also a possibility. This could cause any, or all, of
the following potentially hazardous situations:
• Occupants could be thrown forward due to unexpected loss of forward motion, a particular concern for passengers in the
front of the boat who could be ejected over the bow and possibly struck by the propulsion or steering components.
• Loss of power and directional control in heavy seas, strong current, or high winds.
• Loss of control when docking.
Avoid serious injury or death from deceleration forces resulting from accidental or unintended stop switch activation. The boat
operator should never leave the operator's station without first disconnecting the stop switch lanyard from the operator.

Digital Gauges

A Mercury SmartCraft System instrument package can be purchased for this product. A few of the functions the instrument
package will display are engine RPM, coolant temperature, oil pressure (requires a SmartCraft oil pressure sender kit), battery
voltage, fuel consumption, and engine operating hours.
SmartCraft digital gauges also feature troll control. This allows a vessel to maintain a constant speed with an engine speed
between 500 and 1200 RPM.

The SmartCraft instrument package also aids in Engine Guardian diagnostics. The SmartCraft instrument package displays
