2. Tachometers
The Jet Boat has two tachometers
which display engine rpm. The one
on the left is for the port engine. The
one on the right is for the starboard
engine. For cruising, adjust the
throttle levers so both engines are
running at the same rpm.

NOTE:
Because of the mechanical throttle link-
age, the throttle levers may not be
exactly even with one another when the
engines are running at the same rpm.
3. Fuel Level Gauge
The fuel level gauge shows the
amount of fuel in the fuel tank. The
ignition switch must be in the "ON"
position to activate the gauge.

Always consider the distance you are
travelling and the amount of available
fuel you have. Be sure you have
enough fuel to reach the next fuel stop.
Be sure to begin returning to the port
before you have consumed a half a
tank of fuel.
4. Oil Level Warning Light
This light comes on when the oil
tank is too low to continue normal
operation for much longer. Refill the
oil tank as soon as possible (see
"Filling the Oil Tank," page 3-3).
CAUTION:
If the oil level warning indicator
comes on, refill with engine oil as
soon as possible. The engines will
be severely damaged if they are run
without oil.
