Cockpit Lights (Optional)
The cockpit lights are small circular lights located in the aft cockpit area. Locate the 2-way
cockpit light switch on the switch panel and press the switch in the forward position to turn
on the cockpit lights. Press the cockpit light switch in the aft position to turn the lights off.
Instrumentation
Compass
The compass is located on the dash on top of the console. To ensure that
the compass light is working properly, press the Nav/Anc light switch in the
forward position to turn on the red LED light inside the compass. When
finished, turn the Nav/Anc light switch back to the middle/off position.
Please refer to the owner's manual provided by the manufacturer of the
compass for operational procedures and for information related to the care
and maintenance of their product. When in doubt, always defer to the
compass manufacturer's instructions and/or recommendations.
Horn
The horn switch is located on the switch panel and the horn device is located on the starboard side of the top cap,
in the walkaround area starboard of the console.
Depress the horn switch to the up or forward position to activate the horn, then release the horn switch to
deactivate the horn. The horn is used to signal, warn or alert other boats or persons on shore. Using different
sequences of horn blasts indicates different and sometimes dangerous situations to you or someone around you.
See the Safety section in this manual for more information. Avoid any horn use without an appropriate purpose.
Additional information regarding audible warning signals should be covered in a safe boating course.
Full Instrumentation / Analog Gauges (Digital – Verado)
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 the
standard analog gauges (i.e., Faria), the gauges will light up when the navigation lights are on.
Tachometer - To ensure the 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
that was 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.
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 finished trimming the engine all the way up, the level on the trim gauge should
read in the full up position.
