The.helm.stations.on.Four.Winns
equipped.with.a.complete.set.of.individual.engine.in-
strument.gauges..These.instrument.gauges.allow..
the.boat.operator.to.constantly.monitor.the.operational.
condition.of.the.engine..Close.observation.of.these.
instrument.gauges.could.save.the.engine.from..
damage.
A. Tachometer/Hour Meter Combination Gauge
The.tachometer.indicates.the.speed.of.the.engine.in.
revolutions.per.minute.(RPM)..This.speed.is.not.the.
boat.speed.or.necessarily.the.speed.of.the.propeller..
The.tachometer.may.not.register.zero.with.the..
ignition.key.in.the.OFF.position..
NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum recommended
operating RPM of your engine. Maintaining
maximum, or close to maximum RPM for
extended periods can reduce the life of the
engine.
Some.engines.are.equipped.with.devices.that.limit.
engine.RPM.in.accordance.with.the.oil.pressure,..
or.engine.temperature..Refer.to.the.engine.manual.
included.in.the.owner'.packet.for.additional.information.
The.tachometer.must.be.set.for.different.engines.
installed..This.is.typically.done.at.the.factory..The.tach-
