your engine should operate. This must not be
exceeded or serious engine damage will occur. The
tachometer should also be used to determine the
most comfortable and economical cruising RPM.

The oil gauge is often the
best indicator of engine
problems or difficulties.
Maximum pressure is
controlled by a preset valve
in the oil pump. Note the
reading which this gauge
records after the break-in- period, as it is the "norm"
which can be used as reference during the life of
the engine.
IF A COMPLETE LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE
OCCURS, TURN ENGINE OFF AT ONCE.
Continued running after loss of pressure will cause
engine damage. First, manually check the oil level.
If low oil level is not the cause, consult your Sea
Ray ® dealer.
DO NOT RESTART THE ENGINE UNTIL THE
PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED.Slight
fluctuations in gauge readings are not uncommon
during operation and may be due to the

fluctuations should be investigated. The cause may
be a clogged oil filter element which should be

The water temperature
gauge indicates
temperature of the cooling
water circulating inside the
engine. Your engine is
equipped with a thermostat
so a predetermined engine
temperature should be
reached soon after starting the engine and
maintained thereafter while the engine is running.
Refer to your Engine Operator's Manual for proper
gauge readings. If the temperature approaches
above normal on your gauge, shut down engine at
once.

OLTMETER
The voltmeter gauge
indicates battery bank
voltage. Normal engine
operating voltage will range
between 24.0 to 28.5 volts
when the alternator is
charging. Significantly
higher or lower readings
indicate a battery problem, alternator malfunction
or heavy battery drain.

The fuel gauge indicates
the amount of fuel in the fuel
tank. The most accurate
reading of the fuel gauge is
at idle speeds when your
boat is in an approximately
level position. At slow
plane, when your boat is in
a bow up position the gauge will read inaccurately
because the fuel in the tanks travel to the rear of
the tanks and away from the fuel sending unit.
Because gauge readings are approximate, they
should be compared to the hours of use versus
known fuel consumption (GPH).
