ENGINE ALARM SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
The Crusader engine electronic system is programmed
to control the engine alarm system. This system utilizes
an audible alarm and/or optional indicator lamps to warn
the operator of possible engine problems, and that the
engine(s) have entered the “Power Reduction” mode as
covered earlier in this manual.
The alarm has a “self” checking feature programmed into
the system. This feature will sound the alarm for two
short pulses upon initial start-up of the engine.
If the alarm sounds during operation, immediately throttle
back to idle speed. Observe the indicator lamps to
locate the problem circuit. If the boat can be safely
navigated with one engine, on twin engine applications,
or can be anchored safely, the engine should be shut off
to prevent damage to the engine or transmission.
NOTICE: Some boat builders may install their own
alarm system. It is recommended that the boat owner
check with his or her boat dealer for an explanation of
the particular alarm system upon initial delivery.

INSTRUMENTATION
Boat manufacturers install many different types of
instrumentation on boats. Become familiar with the
instrumentation on your boat and be aware of abnormal
operating conditions. The following is a brief explanation
of typical instrumentation found on most boats:
1. Tachometer - indicates the engine RPM
(revolutions per minute)
2. Engine Synchronizer (twin engines only)
3. Water Temperature Gauge - indicates the engine
coolant temperature
4. Oil Pressure Gauge - indicates the engine oil
pressure
5. Voltmeter - indicates the battery voltage and
charging system voltage
6. Hour Meter - indicates the engine operating time
7. Fuel Level Gauge - indicates the fuel tank level
8. Check Engine Lamp - indicates a problem with
the engine control system
