manual will indicate the appropriate RPM range. When you are running at wide-open throttle, the tach
should read near the top end of the recommended RPM range.
If the RPM readings are working correctly and the engine throttle settings are correct, the tachometer is
operating properly. If the tachometer is not reading correctly, refer to the manual provided by the
manufacturer of the gauge that was included in your owner’s package.
Fuel
The fuel gauge reads the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. To check the fuel gauge, place a known
amount of fuel into the fuel fill and fill the tank. Turn the ignition key on and the fuel gauge should read
the approximate amount of fuel in the tank.
For example: If the fuel tank holds 40 gallons of fuel and you pumped 10 gallons of fuel
into the tank, the fuel gauge should read approximately ¼ of a tank. This ensures that
the fuel gauge and the fuel sender are working properly.
If the fuel gauge is not reading correctly, we recommend that you have the fuel sender checked by a
qualified professional before considering changing out the gauge. For more information, please refer to
the Fuel/Oil Systems section of this manual.
Volts
To system check the volt gauge, turn the ignition key on and turn on the engine. With the engine running,
check the reading on the volt gauge. It should be reading between 12 and 14.5 volts. This reading
ensures that the charging system and the volt gauge are working properly.
For specific information related to your multifunction gauge, refer to the materials in your owner’s package
that was provided by the gauge manufacturer.
Sea Water System
Baitwell Pump
The baitwell switch at the helm controls the baitwell pump. The pump
and seacock are mounted in the bilge and are accessible through the
bilge hatch in the motor well at the transom. Raw water for the baitwell
tub comes through the seacock, to the pump and then to the baitwell
tub. Before turning the pump on from the helm, check to be sure that
the seacock is open. The seacock is wide open when the yellow
seacock lever is vertical. When the yellow seacock lever is horizontal,
the seacock is closed. The seacock should remain closed when the
pump is not in use.
The 12-gallon capacity baitwell tub is located below the seat in front of
the console. It comes equipped with an aerator head and a standpipe.
Note: In the photo above, the seacock lever is shown in the open position
To operate the baitwell system, locate the baitwell switch on the console and press the switch to the
forward position to turn on the pump. When the baitwell pump is operating, go to the baitwell tub, open
the baitwell lid and visually check to see if water is pumping into the tub through the aerator fitting. To
turn the baitwell pump off, press the baitwell switch to the aft position. You should always turn the
baitwell switch off at the helm if the pump is not going to be used soon.
