Full Instrumentation / Gauges (Digital)

All gauges are installed on the console but the configuration and specific location of your gauges will vary
depending upon the selection of the various optional engine packages. If your engine package includes
analog gauges (i.e., Faria), the gauges will light up when the navigation lights are on. If your engine
package includes digital gauges provided by the engine manufacturer (i.e., Mercury SmartCraft, Honda,
etc.), the gauges will light up only when the engine is on.
Note: For boats rigged with analog gauges, the gauge configuration may include
individual gauges for the temperature, trim, volts and fuel gauges or a multifunction
gauge that includes multiple functions.
temperature, trim, volts and fuel gauges are incorporated into the tachometer gauge.
Tachometer - To ensure the tachometer (tach) is working properly, simply turn the ignition key on and
start the engine. While the engine is idling, the tach should be reading in the proper RPM range
recommended for the engine. Your engine manual will indicate the appropriate RPM range. When you
are running at wide-open throttle, the tach should read near the top end of the recommended RPM range.
If the RPM gauge is reading correctly and the engine throttle settings are correct, the tachometer is
operating properly. If the tachometer is not reading correctly, refer to the manual provided by the
manufacturer of the gauge (included in your owner's package).
Speedometer - To ensure that the speedometer (Speedo) is working properly, get the boat on a planing
speed and check to see if the gauge is reading at the approximate running speed at which the boat is
traveling.
Note: The speed-reading on the Speedo may vary a few mph from the actual speed that
the boat is traveling. Either a GPS or a radar gun can check the running speed.
Using different sequences of horn blasts indicates different and sometimes
