This gauge indicates the approximate quantity of fuel
remaining in the tank when the ignition is in the “ON” position.
NOTICE: DO NOT run the tank to empty. To prevent
condensation from forming in the tank, it is recommended
that the tank be filled when the gauge indicates 1/4 tank
of fuel remaining.
The following conditions may be considered normal operation
of the fuel gauge and fuel system:
- Gas station pumps may shut off before the fuel gauge
indicates FULL.
- The amount of fuel required for fill-up may not exactly
correspond to the gauge.
- The gauge needle may not move away from FULL until
some time after fill-up.
- The gauge needle may move during turns, stops and
acceleration.
NOTICE: Become familiar with engine hourly fuel
consumption at various speeds and know when to check
the fuel gauge.

The voltmeter indicates whether the battery is charging or
discharging. The needle should be located in the normal range
while the engine is running.
If the voltmeter does not register in the normal range, there
may be a problem within the electrical system. It is normal for
the voltmeter needle to fall when starting the engine. Normal
range is 12 to 14 volts.
Voltmeter
The oil pressure gauge indicates the oil pressure in the engine
while the engine is running.
If the oil pressure remains below the normal range of 20 to 40
psi, stop the engine immediately. If engine is allowed to run
while oil pressure is too low, permanent engine damage may
occur.
Running the engine with low oil pressure may cause
severe engine damage.

The Speedometer pickup is a paddle wheel located on the
bottom of the boat. Poor water conditions may cause the wheel
to become clogged or give incorrect information.
