Multi Gauge:
The multi gauge is standard
equipment. Its function is
to indicate fuel level, engine
oil pressure and temperature
along with DC system
voltage.
Note: Vessels with the
optional RegalVue will
display these four gauge
readings once the engine
statistics button is activated.
Fuel gauge- indicates the level of gasoline inside the fuel tank. It is a
good idea to keep the fuel tanks “topped off ” when possible to reduce
fuel vapors inside the tank. Also, do not run the fuel level close to
empty to ensure an adequate “safety” factor. Practice the one third rule.
Volt Meter: monitors the battery condition as well as the alternator
performance. Normal voltage is between 12.0 and 15.0 volts. Readings
outside of this range may indicate a charging system or battery problem.
Oil Pressure:
The oil pressure gauge indicates the pressure of the oil inside the engine
lubrication system. A drop in oil pressure may be an indication of a
low oil situation or a leak. Continued operation of the engines with
low oil pressure could lead to engine damage. Refer to the appropriate
manufacturer’s engine manual for further information.
Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge monitors the cooling system of the engine.
A sudden increase in the temperature could be a sign that the engine
cooling system is malfunctioning. Shut down the engine immediately
and investigate the problem. Consult your engine manual for allowable
limits.
