The 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.
The gauge in the lower left location is the oil pressure gauge. It indicates
the pressure of the oil inside the engine lubrication system. A drop in
oil pressure may indicate a low oil situation or leak. Operation of the
engines with low oil pressure could lead to engine damage.
The gauge in the lower right location is the temperature gauge. It
monitors the cooling system’s effect on the engine as registered by the
thermostat. A sudden increase in the temperature could be a sign of
a malfunctioning cooling system. Continued operation of the engines
without a proper cooling system could lead to engine damage.
