Each of your engines have been equipped with an
engine gauge package. This package is provided
as a safety feature in the event of an electrical
malfunction resulting in the hem gauges becoming
inoperative.
Gauge packages may differ with different
engine options. Refer to your Engine Operator's
Manual for proper gauge readings and gauge
package locations.

protective coating on the studs and nuts to
prevent corrosion.

EDUCTION
A reduction gear reduces the rotating speed of the propeller
shaft in relation to the engine RPM. This permits the use
of a larger propeller while allowing the engine to attain its
rated RPM, thereby increasing efficiency.

EVERSE EARS
The reverse gear incorporates the clutch and
controls the rotation of the propeller. The position
of the clutch control or shifting lever indicates the
motion which the clutch and reverse gear are
transmitting. The center position of the lever
indicates neutral. Engine RPM should never
exceed 1000 when engaging or disengaging the
clutch. Higher RPM will result in unnecessary
wear and shortened life of the unit, and perhaps
breakage.
Marine reverse gears are hydraulically operated,
thereby making it imperative to periodically maintain
and check oil level. If the correct oil level is not
maintained, slippage occurs, causing damage to
the clutch plates. Too much oil will cause foaming
and erratic clutch operation. For additional
information see the Engine Operator's Manual.

NGINE XHAUST
The exhaust system on Sea Ray
engines is designed so that water from the raw
water cooling system enters the exhaust system
through elbows (engine side) where water and
exhaust are mixed. Water and exhaust are then
pumped through the mufflers and then overboard
through the exhaust outlet. Make sure water is
flowing from the exhaust outlets while the
engines are operating. Prior to every boat use,
examine the exhaust system fittings to ensure
tightness.
