The tachometer displays the engine crankshaft’s revolutions per minute
(RPM). For your engine’s maximum full-throttle RPM, consult the
engine owner’s manual. Do not exceed those specifications. RPM at
wide open throttle will vary based on propeller size (pitch and diameter).
Your Manitou dealer can assist you with propeller selection.
The hourmeter is a digital readout that is part of the tachometer gauge. It
measures cumulative hours of engine operation. Use this gauge to log
engine maintenance, performance data, and fuel consumption.
The trim gauge displays the angle of the propeller relative to the hull.
Efficiency is increased when the engine is properly trimmed. To gain an
understanding of the best way to trim your boat, practice trimming your
Manitou while on the water.
The depth gauge displays the depth of the water your boat is running in.
The gauge uses two primary components to take its readings, the gauge
unit and the transducer. The gauge unit contains the transmitter and
receiver, as well as the user controls and display. The transducer is
mounted beneath the water and converts electrical energy from the
transmitter into sonar waves to provide a reading on the gauge.
Water depth is read from the rear of the boat, so it
is important to proceed carefully when driving into
shallow water.
