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 con-
dition of the engine. Close observation of these
instruments allows the operator to operate the
engine at the most ecient level and could save it
from serious costly damage. The instrumentation
is unique to the type of outboard motor installed
on your boat.
Most Everglades boats are equipped with Yamaha
engines and Command Link
®
multifunction instru-
ments or the Command Link
®
Plus LCD multifunc-
tion display. Either of these systems can be inte-
grated with optional electronic navigation equip-
ment installed on your boat. A brief description
of the Command link integrated gauges and their
basic functions are listed in this section. Other
functions that are dependent on the electronics
installed on your boat may be available. Refer to
the Yamaha engine and Command Link
®
owner’s
manuals and the manuals for the electronics in-
stalled on your boat for detailed information on
the operation of the instruments and additional
functions available.
Some or all of the following gauges may be
present.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the speed of the engine
in revolutions per minute (RPM). This speed is
not the boat speed or necessarily the speed of
the propeller.
With Command Link instruments the tachometer
also contains the engine trim meter, oil pressure
indicator, water pressure and the overheat warn-
ing indicator.
With Command Link Plus
®
, the tachometer display
also contains the engine trim meters, oil pressure
indicator, water pressure, water temperature, volt
meter and the overheat warning indicator.
