G. Power Trim Gauge
Certain V series models equipped with stern drives
have a "power trim gauges." This gauge provides a
visual indication of the inward-outward (trim angle)
position of the outdrive. There is not a trailer travel
mode on the gauge.

Engine Hour Meter
Engine hour meters are available and provide a numer-
ic record of elapsed engine operating time. This informa-
tion is impor tant in determining scheduled maintenance
inter vals, ships log data, cruise information, etc. The
hour meter is located at the helm within the tachometer/
hour meter combination gauge.
J. Three Position Ignition Switch
On certain V series models, the ignition switch has
three positions: OFF, RUN, and START. The START
position is spring loaded and the key should be held in
this position until the engine starts. The key will return
to the RUN position once released. Always turn the
key to the OFF position when the engine is not
running. This will prevent discharging of the batteries.
Addition al information on ignition switch operation is
covered in Section A - Operation of this manual.
Engines, Drives and Instrumentation - Section E
K. Four Position Ignition Switch
Other V series models, use an ignition switch with four
positions: OFF, RUN, ACCESSORIES, and START.
Just like the three position switch, the START position
is spring loaded and the key should be held in this
position until the engine starts. The key will return to
the RUN position once released. Always turn the key
to the OFF position when the engine is not running.
This will prevent discharging of the battery(s). The
ACCESSORIES position allows the operator to run
the stereo without activating the other ship's systems.
Addition al information on ignition switch operation is
covered in Section A Opera tion, of this manual.
L. Emergency Stop Switch
This safety device automatically stops the engine if
the lanyard is attached to the operator and the
operator falls from his helm station and may be
installed on certain V series models. Refer to the
engine manual for detailed information about using
this switch.
The emergency stop switch (Figure E10) incorporates
a shutoff switch, switch clip, lanyard, and lanyard clip.
The lanyard clip must be securely attached to the
operator's PFD, clothing, arm, or leg. Be sure to
attach the lanyard to a place where it is free of ob-
structions and to something that will move with the
operator if he or she leaves the helm station. If the
engine shuts down because this switch was activated,
the clip may have to be reinstalled on the interrupter
switch before the engine can be started.
Keep emergency stop switch lanyard free from
obstructions that could interfere with its
operation. Do not modify or remove emergency
stop switch or bypass its safety features. The
proper use of the emergency stop switch will
prevent a runaway boat situation which can
cause severe personal injury or death.
