CHAPTER 3
Typical Gauge Operation
Following is a general description of typical gauge operations. Your
vessel may not use the same gauge footprint shown below or may
incorporate selected gauge readings as part of the RegalVue display.
The gauges are lighted for night operation. An alert skipper monitors
his gauges constantly for any system malfunctions. Gauges are an early
warning system for marine engines just as they are for automobiles.
Tachometer:
The tachometer indicates the speed
of the engine in revolutions per
minute (rpm). The tachometer allows
you to monitor the engine speed so
you can be sure not to exceed the
recommended limits of the engine
manufacturer. Select tachometers
include built in hour meters.
Speedometer:
This instrument used on selected
vessels indicates miles per hour and
kilometers per hour. Like the other
gauges in the instrument cluster it
is illuminated for night operation.
Consult the owner’s packet for
additional information.
