The water temperature gauge
indicates temperature of the
cooling water circulating
inside the engine. Your engine
is equipped with a thermostat
so a predetermined engine
temperature
should
reached soon after starting
the engine and maintained thereafter while the
engine is running. Refer to your Engine Operator's
Manual for proper gauge readings. If the
temperature approaches above normal on your
gauge, shut down engine at once.

OURMETER
The hourmeters measure cumulative hours of
operating time on the engines and generator. They
should be used to keep a careful log of engine
maintenance as well as performance data and fuel
consumption. Hourmeters for engines are located
in different locations with varying engine options.
Each location is described below:
Standard Engines: Engine hourmeters are located
on the tachometer at the control station. Refer to
the engine or seperate engine system monitor
operator's manual for proper operation.
Optional Engines: Engine hoursmeters are
incorporated into the SmartCraft
digital display monitor on the gauge panel at the
helm. Refer to the SmartCraft
for proper operation.
Generator: The generator hourmeter is located on
the generator.

The system indicator and
switch module (ENGINE
SHUTDOWN
OVERRIDE
SYSTEM)
located at the control station
is wired to the ignition and
turned ON when ignition is
turned ON. The CHARGE and
DISCHARGE indicator lights, indicate to the
helmsman when the unit has discharged.
Under normal circumstances, when the ignition is
ON the CHARGE indicator light is ON. If the unit
discharges, the CHARGE light will go OFF and the
DISCHARGE light will turn ON. The system
incorporates an engine shutdown switch with
override system. When the system discharges it
will shut down the engines.
After the engine room has been inspected and it
has been determined safe and you are ready to
restart the engines, activate the OVERRIDE switch.
Then restart the engines.

e n g i n e .
synchronize the engines,
a d j u s t t h e e n g i n e R P M
with the throttles until the
needle is centered in the gauge. The engine
synchronizer is designed to operate between
1500 RPM and Wide Open Throttle (WOT).
When engines are not under load and running
in neutral gear, they will tend to surge and
indicate out of synchronization very easily.
REFER TO YOUR ENGINE OPERATOR'S
MANUAL FOR PROPER GAUGE READING.
