MONTEREY
BOATS
equipped with a shallow water alarm. The alarm
will sound at a depth preset by the operator.
Fuel Management (Optional)
Fuel management systems are optional and could
be installed on your boat as part of the engine
monitoring system. The fuel management gauge
is used to monitor the gallons per hour and also
total gallons used. If you have a fuel management
system installed on your boat, please refer to the
engine or fuel management manual for informa-
tion on that system.
Engine Alarm
Inboard engines are equipped with an audible
alarm system mounted in the helm area that moni-
tors selected critical engine systems. The alarm
will sound if one of these systems begins to fail.
Refer to the engine owner's manual for information
on the alarms installed with your engine.
If an engine alarm sounds, immediately shut off
the engine, if safe to do so, until the problem is
found and corrected.
Compass
The compass is on top of the console. To adjust
the compass for your area, read the instructions
on "Compass Compensation" given to you in the
literature packet. The compass cannot be ad-
Depth Sounder and Engine Tilt/Trim Gauge
justed accurately at the factory because it must
be compensated for the influence of the electrical
equipment and electronics unique to your boat.
Therefore, the compass should be adjusted by a
professional after the electronics are installed and
before operating the boat.
Instrument Maintenance
Electrical protection for the engine instruments
and ignition circuitry is provided by circuit break-
ers located on the engine. The navigational elec-
tronics are protected by the electronics breaker
in helm breaker panel. The ignition switch and
instrument wire connectors should be sprayed
periodically with a contact cleaner/lubricant. The
ignition switch and all instruments, controls, etc.
should be protected from the weather when not
in use. Excessive exposure can lead to gauge and
ignition switch difficulties.
