Standard Gauges
The following standard gauges are included on all
models. It is important for the safe and proper operation
of your boat to fully understand these gauges.
Tachometer
Located top right of the dash panel the tachometer
registers the operating speed of your engine in
revolutions per minute (RPM). This gauge is used to
provide you with information needed to ensure the
operation of the engine is kept within engine
manufacturer’s proper range of operation. Be sure to
consult your engine manual for the correct range of
operation for your particular model.
Do not operate your boat beyond the recommended RPM
range. Doing so could cause irreversible problems, and may
not be covered under your engine warranty.
Speedometer
The speedometer registers speed in miles per
hour (MPH). The speedometer system consists of
a thru-hull paddle wheel speed sensor that
records water movement, a computer located
under the dash that converts the information, an
analog readout on the dash, and the inter-
connecting wiring. The speedometers are
calibrated at the factory and will not normally
need additional adjustment, however, from time
to time it may be necessary to re-calibrate. The
speedometers can be adjusted using the SPEEDO
rocker switch located to the right of the steering
wheel. Please refer to Speedometer Calibration
below for the adjustment procedure.
