Everglades 435 CC - 3.7 Engine Instrumentation

40
Propulsion System
3.7 Engine Instrumentation
The helm station is equipped with a set of engine
instruments and/or alarms. These instruments
allow the operator to monitor the operational
condition of the engines. Close observation of
these instruments allows the operator to operate
the engines at the most efcient level and could
save them from serious costly damage.
Most Everglades boats are equipped with Yamaha
engines and Command Link Plus
®
LCD multifunc-
tion display. Triple engine boats typically have
one display that monitors all three engines. Quad
engine boats typically have 2 displays, one for
the port and port center engines and one for the
starboard and starboard center engine.
This system can be integrated with the optional
electronic navigation equipment installed on your
boat and/or the Yamaha Helm Master control
system. A brief description of the Command Link
Plus
®
system integrated gauges and their basic
functions are listed in this section. Other functions
that are dependent on the electronics and control
system installed on your boat may be available.
Please refer to the Yamaha engine, Command Link
Plus
®
and Helm Master owner’s manuals and the
manuals for the electronics installed on your boat
for detailed information on the operation of the
instruments and additional functions available.
The instrumentation is unique to the type of out-
board motors installed on your Everglades.
Some or all of the following gauges may be
present.
Tachometers
The tachometers display the speed of the engines
in revolutions per minute (RPM). This speed is
not the boat speed or necessarily the speed of
the propeller.
The tachometer display also contains the engine
trim meters, oil pressure indicator, water pressure,
water temperature, volt meters and the overheat
warning indicator.
CAUTION
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED OPERATION
RPM OF THE ENGINES. MAINTAINING MAXIMUM OR CLOSE TO
MAXIMUM RPM FOR EXTENDED PERIODS CAN REDUCE THE
LIFE OF THE ENGINES.
