Instruments

Your Pro Line's instrumentation will vary from model to model and engine to engine,

therefore the following descriptions are general; refer to your engine manual for specifics.

Fuel Gauge

Differences in temperature, humidity, speed and trim can affect the actual accuracy of this

gauge in service. It is important to verify the fuel flow in gal./hr. for your boat and make

note of your gauge position with respect to time for different RPM settings. No gauge can

give 100% accuracy. If you notice unusually high or low fuel consumption, investigate

further to see if the engine is using more fuel than normal or the gauge has failed.

Water Temperature

The water temperature gauge indicates the internal water temperature of your engine. Your

engine is equipped with a thermostat to quickly bring the engine up to its optimum

operating temperature range of 150 to 170 degrees f. All outboard engines are also

equipped with a audio alarm system indicating a over heat condition, if the gauge or alarm

indicates a over heat condition, immediately shut the engine off, lift the drive and inspect

water intakes for obstructions such as aquatic vegetation or mud. After finding the source

of the overheating, restart engine and confirm water flow, if water does not flow within

five seconds shut the engine off.

Volt

The volt meter indicates battery voltage; normal reading is between 12 to 15.5 volts. A low

reading indicates too heavy of a load or a dysfunction in the charging system. Too high of a

voltage indicates a fault of the charging circuitry and continued operation will damage the

battery.

Tachometer

The tachometer indicates the revolutions per minute (RPM) of your engine. Do not operate

the engine beyond the limits stated in your engine manual. Abnormally low tach. readings

(for a given throttle setting) indicates loss of power, or an prop entangled with weeds or

trash; check the prop first. A reading higher than normal indicates a ventilating or

cavitating prop, or prop/ drive damage.

Speedometer

The speedometer indicates the speed of your boat in Miles per hour (MPH).

The gauge operates by sensing water impact pressure from the pitot tube mounted on the

transom. (or integrated into the lower drive unit of the motor). If the gauge fails to give a

reading, suspect a blocked pickup.

Trim

The trim gauge indicates the in (down) and out (up) position of the drive unit in relation to

the hull. (see Trimming your boat p.18 )

Options

Optional instrumentation for your Pro Line includes: fish locator / depth finder, VHF radio,

GPS navigation aids, etc. Refer to the manuals supplied.
