CRUISER/SUPERSPORT
Engine Water Temperature
Gauge—Indicates the
water/coolant temperature
inside the engine. Refer to
the propulsion unit
operator’s manual for normal
operating temperature. After
starting the engine, check
your temperature gauge for
abnormally high readings. If
the reading is outside the
manufacturer’s operating
range, immediately turn off the engine. An
abnormally high temperature is the result of
cooling water blockage. Consult your Formula
dealer when experiencing a high engine
temperature reading.
Voltmeter—Indicates the
condition of the engine’s
cranking battery in volts
DC. With the ignition
switch on and the engine
not running, a reading
between 11.5 and 12.5
volts indicates a fully
charged battery. With the
engine running at idle,
the gauge should read
between 10 and 12 volts. With the engine running
at cruising speeds and above, it should show 12
to 14 volts. Have your Formula dealer check the
charging system if the voltmeter reads below
these normal ranges.
Engine Oil Pressure
Gauge—Measures the
pressure of the engine’s
lubricating oil. Refer to
the propulsion unit
operator’s manual for
normal operating
pressure. Many serious
engine problems are
reflected on oil pressure
gauge readings. If the
pressure is lower than
the manufacturer’s specification, immediately shut
off the engine. Contact your Formula dealer to
correct the problem before operating the engine.
Trim Gauge—Displays the
position of the drive unit.
Rudder Indicator Gauge—
Indicates position of the
rudder on inboard powered
models.
Depth Gauge—Displays the
depth of the water under the
boat. To avoid running
aground in shallow water,
add distance to the meter
reading and maintain a very
slow speed. A switch at the
helm activates the gauge.
For operating instructions,
refer to the depth gauge
instructions in your Owner
Information Binder.
