A. Tachometer/Hour Meter Combination Gauge
The tachometer indicates the speed of the engine in
revolutions per minute (RPM). This speed is not the
boat speed or necessarily the speed of the propel ler.
The tachometer may not register zero with the ignition
key in the OFF position.
NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum recommend ed
operat ing RPM of your engine. Main taining
maximum, or close to maximum RPM for
extended periods can reduce the life of the
engine.
Some engines are equipped with devices that limit
engine RPM in accordance with the oil pres sure, or
engine temperature. Refer to the engine manual
included in the owner' packet for additional informa-
tion.
The tachometer must be set for different engines
installed. This is typically done at the factory. The
tachometer gauge is shown along with the table detail-
ing the tachometer settings. See Figure E7.

The tachometer/hour meter combination gauge allows
for hour meter viewing at the helm. See Figure E8.
The hour meter provides a numeric record of elapsed
engine operating time. This information is important in
determining scheduled maintenance intervals, ship's
log data, cruise information, etc.
The hour meter is connected to the ignition switch. Be
sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position when
the engine is not operating or the hour meter will
record additional time. Note: If ignition key is placed in
the ACC (Accessory) position the hour meter will not
record additional time.
