System Link Digital Gauges; Smartcraft System-Power Shut Down; Power Trim - Mercury TDI 3.0L Owner's Operation And Maintenance Manual

Section 1 - Getting to Know Your Power Package

System Link Digital Gauges

Some instrumentation packages include gauges that augment the information provided by VesselView and the SmartCraft
tachometer and speedometer. The owner and operator should be familiar with all the instruments and their functions on the
boat. Have your boat dealer explain the gauges and normal readings that appear for your boat.
The following types of digital gauges may be included with your power package.
Item Gauge
a Oil pressure gauge
b Voltmeter
c Water temperature gauge
d Fuel gauge
SmartCraft System—Power Shut Down
IMPORTANT: When the key switch is turned off, SmartCraft information is communicated to the TDI vessel adapter assembly.
Allow a minimum of 15 seconds for the communication to be completed before turning the battery switch to the off position or
disconnecting battery power. Failure to allow the communication to be completed, may cause an error message to display on
the SmartCraft device at the next engine start sequence. Waiting 30 seconds before removing battery power will ensure the
communication is unrestricted and thorough. To erase the error message, turn the key switch to the off position and wait one
minute before starting the engine.

Power Trim

Power trim allows the operator to adjust the sterndrive angle while underway to provide the ideal boat angle for varying load
and water conditions. Also, the trailering feature allows the operator to raise and lower the sterndrive for trailering, beaching,
launching, low‑speed (below 1200 RPM engine speed), and shallow water operation.
Excessive trim can cause serious injury or death at high speeds, and single‑ram trim systems do not provide a trim‑out
limiting device or trim indicator. Use caution when trimming with a single‑ram trim system and never trim out beyond the unit's
side support flanges while the boat is underway or at engine speeds above 1200 RPM.
