3.7 Helm and Engine Instrumentation
The helm station is equipped with a set of engine
instruments and/or alarms. These instruments al-
low the operator to monitor the engine operational
conditions. Close observation of these instru-
ments allows the operator to operate the engine at
from serious costly damage. The instrumentation
is unique to the boat model and type of engine
installed in your boat.
Some or all of the following gauges and instru-
ments may be present.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the speed of the engine
in revolutions per minute (RPM). This speed is
not the boat speed nor necessarily the speed of
the propeller(s). The tachometer may not register
zero with the key in the “OFF” position.
Most tachometers have an LCD screen that digi-
for functions of some optional equipment. Keys
on each side of the display allow the operator to
scroll through the available data monitored by
the display. The functions monitored will vary
depending on the engine model and other optional
equipment installed on your boat.
Tachometer features are unique to the tachometer
and engine or engines installed in your boat. A
quick reference guide that provides information
and instructions for most tachometer and engine
applications used in sport boat models is located
in Appendix F.
Contact your dealer if you need assistance with
the operation and features for the tachometer in
your boat.
