Fuel Gauge

A sending unit is installed in each fuel tank which senses the fuel level in the tank and displays the quantity
on the fuel gauge located on the instrument panel. However it is clearly labeled.

Figure 3-10

illustrates
The location of the fuel gauges for both fuel tanks. Each fuel tank has its own fuel gauge.
The fuel indication is not 100% accurate so fuel planning is highly recommended. Maintain a reserve fuel
supply when planning a trip by following the "Two Thirds Rule" ... One third to go out ... Two thirds to get
home.

Steering Systems

Each of the optional steering systems that are available for this boat will have a manufacturer's
instruction manual included in the owner's documentation package.
Steering is provided by the propeller/sterndrive assembly itself eliminating the need of a rudder. A
power steering system, sometimes including the Volvo Joystick and Mercury Axius System, is used to
make operating the boat easier. A steering system owner's manual is delivered as part of the documen-
tation package you receive when you take possession of your boat. It is your responsibility to become
familiar with the contents of the manual and how the system operates, as only rudimentary information
is repeated here.
A hydraulic pump, with built-in reservoir, is mounted on the engine and provides power steering for
the boat. Turning the wheel pumps hydraulic fluid to the steering cylinder, which is attached to the stern-
drive assembly. This fluid moves a hydraulic cylinder, which in turn moves the sterndrive in the desired
direction.
As part of the regular maintenance cycle, ensure the power steering reservoir contains the proper amount
of fluid. Verify with your dealer the type of steering/hydraulic fluid your boat uses. Use only the recom-
