CONTROLS/INDICATORS
INSTRUMENTS
NOTE: Types of gauges and switches vary by model. Not all models have all the following
items. Some of the following items are optional and cost extra. Skeeter reserves the
right to change specications without notice.
Some outboard motors are equipped with a multigauge to monitor the engine motor management
system and other functions. See the outboard motor operator’s manual if your Skeeter boat is
equipped with such a system.
Trim Gauge (If Equipped)
The trim gauge indicates bow position of the boat in the water. This is achieved by changing the angle
of the outboard motor.
Sonar Fishnder and Depthsounder
See the shnder and depthsounder operations manual.
Water Pressure Gauge (If Equipped)
The water pressure gauge monitors the cooling system pressure of the engine. See your outboard
motor owner’s manual for information.
Voltmeter (If Equipped)
The voltmeter indicates voltage to the batteries from the charging system.
Tachometer
The tachometer registers engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). See your outboard motor
operator’s manual for the correct operating range of the engine.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the boat in miles per hour. Be sure the speedometer pilot
tube is clean and free from debris. Also make sure the speedometer tube is not pinched and allows
for proper operation of the gauge.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge registers the fuel level in the gas tank and not gallons. In some cases, because of the
shape and size of the tank, when the gauge registers 1/2, there may be as much as 3/4 of a tank of
fuel. Due to the various conditions affecting the way a boat oats, the gauge may register differently
when the boat is on the trailer, at rest, or on plane.
