Trim - To ensure the trim gauges/indicators are working properly, start by making sure the engine is
trimmed all the way down. Locate the trim gauge on the instrument panel and check to see if the level on
the trim gauge is in the full down position. As you trim the engine up, watch the trim gauge and ensure
that it coincides with the actual trim of the engine. When you are finished trimming the engine all the way
up, the level on the trim gauge should read in the full up position.
Volts - To system check the volt gauge, turn the ignition key on and turn on the engine. With the engine
running, check the reading on the volt gauge. It should be reading between 12 and 14.5 volts. This
reading ensures that the charging system and the volt gauge are working properly.
Fuel - The fuel gauge reads the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. To check the fuel gauge, place a
known amount of fuel into the fuel fill and fill the tank. Turn the ignition key on and the fuel gauge should
read the approximate amount of fuel in the tank.
For example: If the fuel tank holds 200 gallons of fuel and you pumped 50 gallons of fuel
into the tank, the fuel gauge should read approximately ¼ of a tank. This ensures that
the fuel gauge and the fuel sender are working properly.
If the fuel gauge is not reading correctly, we recommend that you have the fuel sender checked by a
qualified service professional before considering changing out the gauge. For more information, please
refer to the Fuel/Oil Systems section of this manual.
For specific information related to your gauges, refer to the materials in your owner's package that was
provided by the gauge manufacturer.
