Depth Gauge
e depth gauge indicates the water depth under the keel of the boat.
It features a shallow water alarm to warn the skipper of hazardous
situations. By monitoring the water depth, damage to props, and
underwater hardware can be avoided. is gauge is connected to a
transducer on the bottom of the hull, accessible through a removable
plate in the ski locker. Refer to the equipment operation chapter for
details on gauge settings/operation.
Typical Depth Gauge
Multi Gauge (Fuel, Volt, Oil, Temp)
ere may be a multi gauge on the dash which consists of four
engine system measurement gauges.
e fuel gauge indicates the level of fuel inside the fuel tank sent by
the fuel sender. It is a good idea to keep the fuel tanks “topped o ”
when possible to reduce fuel vapors inside the tank. Do not run
your fuel gauge to low and allow for a “safety” factor.
e gauge in the upper right location is the volt meter. It monitors
the battery condition as well as the alternator performance. Normal
voltage is between 12.0 and 15.0 volts. Readings outside this range
may indicate a charging system problem. Operation of a boat with
low battery may lead to a hazardous situation.
