TYPICAL MISC. GAUGES & CONTROLS
12 Volt Accessory Plug
The 12 volt (D.C.) accessory receptacle accepts items
which feature male connectors similar to the ones you
plug into your automobile cigar lighter. It is useful in
charging up cell phones and low amperage equipment.
Disconnect any equipment from the plug when not in
use and attach the protection cap on the receptacle.
Gas Vapor Detector
The gas vapor detector determines if there is a level of
gasoline vapors that is unsafe in the engine room of the
bilge. If installed, turn on the unit and wait about one
minute for the unit to do a safety test. If all is well it will
display a green light. You must run the test before you
start the engine. In the event you do not see a green light,
you must investigate the bilge of the vessel for gas fumes
or signs of a fuel system leak. If uncertain how to proceed,
call a marine professional.
Automatic Fire Extinguisher
The automatic fire extinguishing system utilizes an
instrument display unit (gauge) that provides theoperator
with a system status of a charged or uncharged condition
by an audible alarm. With the ignition turned on the
indicator light shows system is charged and operating
properly. With the ignition on and a no light condition;
this shows the system has discharged.
If the system should discharge the ignition system will be
instantaneously interrupted. Should this occur shut down
the engine, ventilation blower, and any electrical system
components. Invesigate the source of the shutdown
immediately and take appropriate action.
Also, in the cockpit is located a manual release for the
automatic fire extinguishing system. Find the release and
read the related instructions in this manual and the
vendor’s information regarding the operation of the
manual release mechanism. In case of emergency inform
other crew members on the operation of the fire
extinguishing system.
Spotlight
The spotlight control features two functions. The left-
sided switch center position is off. Other switch positions
will deliver either flood or spot type lights. The right-side
button controls the directional pathway of the light. This
is useful for docking or spoting objects in the water. The
switch is lighted at night.
Below is a description of various gauges and controls.
Refer to your vendor product information for further
literature.
Your dash may not include all of the
equipment outlined below.
High Water Alarm

in the bilge and an
audible helm alarm.
Should an alarm sound
stop the engine and
check the bilge for
incoming water. To test
the unit press the dash
switch. Read vendor information in the document pouch.
