Bilge High Water Alarm—Alerts operator of
excessive water in the bilge. The alarm is
activated by a sensor mounted in the engine
compartment. When activated, a continuous horn
will sound. You must manually turn ON the bilge
pump to clear excessive water. The alarm will stop
sounding once the excessive water is cleared.
There is a built-in 10 second delay to avoid
nuisance tripping.
Engine Alarm—Sounds an alarm and a warning
light will turn on when an engine temperature
exceeds the set limit or if the oil pressure drops
below the set range. If the alarm sounds during
operation, immediately turn OFF the engine and
determine the cause. The engine alarm will also
sound if the outdrive lube level falls to a critical
level. Consult the propulsion unit owner's manual
in your Owner Information Binder for additional
information.
CAUTION
Continued operation of an engine after the
warning alarm has sounded may cause
severe engine damage.
Bow Thruster—The optional bow thruster is a
small electric motor mounted in the bow that helps
to increase maneuverability of your Formula boat.
Bow Thruster Control
The bow thruster's main function is to make small
adjustments of the bow at slow speed, such as
mooring. It is not made for extended operation.
The electric motor contains a thermal breaker to
prevent the motor from overheating. When this
breaker is activated, the bow thruster will not
operate until the motor has cooled.
For more information on the bow thruster, refer to
the manufacturer's instructions included in your
Owner Information Binder.

CABIN CONTROLS AND
INDICATORS
AC/DC Control Panel—This panel controls the
distribution of the 110-volt alternating current
(VAC) electrical system and the 12-volt direct
current (VDC) electrical system.
Both the AC and DC circuits are controlled by a
switch-type circuit breaker. The circuit breaker
functions in two ways. It allows you to manually
enable or interrupt a circuit by moving the switch
ON or OFF. They protect the system by
automatically opening the circuit if a short or
overloaded condition occurs.
Check the circuit if a particular piece of equipment
stops working. A tripped circuit breaker indicates
the circuit is overloaded. You should determine
and correct the cause of a problem before
resetting a circuit breaker.
Reset the breaker by pressing it back into place.
Contact your Formula dealer if a circuit beaker
keeps tripping.
Refer to Section 5 for operation of the 12-VDC
and 110-VAC electrical systems.
