A. Tachometer
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 ex-
tended periods can reduce the life of the en-
gine.
Some engines are equipped with devices that limit en-
gine RPM in accordance with the oil pressure, or en-
gine temperature. Refer to the engine manual included
in the owner' packet for additional information.
The tachometer must be set for different engines in-
stalled. This is typically done at the factory with the
aid of a software program for the Four Winns®/VDO
module.
The tachometer gauge for the 214 Candia FS I/O is
shown below along with the table detailing the DP
settings. See Figure E5 and DP Settings Table.
