OURMETER

The hourmeters measure cumulative hours of
operating time on the engines and generator. They
should be used to keep a careful log of engine
maintenance as well as performance data and fuel
consumption. Do not leave ignition key on with the
engines off, as this will increase the engine hours
on the hour meter. Engine hour meters are
incorporated into the SmartCraft

System View

digital display monitor on the gauge panel at the
helm. Refer to the SmartCraft

owner’s manual for

proper operation.

Generator: The generator hourmeter is located on
the generator.

The system indicator
and switch module
(

SHUTDOWN AND
OVERRIDE SYSTEM) located at the control station
is wired to the ignition and turned ON when ignition
is turned ON. The CHARGE and DISCHARGE
indicator lights, indicate to the helmsman when the
unit has discharged.

Under normal circumstances, when the ignition is
ON the CHARGE indicator light is ON. If the unit
discharges, the CHARGE light will go OFF and the
DISCHARGE light will turn ON. The system
incorporates an engine shutdown switch with
override system. When the system discharges it
will shut down the engines.

After the engine room has been inspected and it
has been determined safe and you are ready to
restart the engines, activate the OVERRIDE
switch. Then restart the engines.

AGNETIC

OMPASS

Your compass, properly corrected, will indicate
magnetic North (not true North). A compass must
be adjusted by a qualified person. The reason for
this is that nearby instruments or objects containing
magnets or current-carrying electrical wires will
influence the compass reading. This is especially
true if you add electronic devices to the helm station.

After your compass has been professionally
adjusted. You will be given a deviation card or chart
indicating the correction to be applied when laying
out a compass course or making navigational
calculations. Keep this correction card or chart
at the helm.

NOTE: The compass adjustment is only good for
the equipment arrangement that existed at the time
of the adjustment. If you place different equipment
or remove equipment from the vicinity of the
compass, you cannot rely on the compass reading.
The compass must be readjusted by a qualified
person after equipment is added or removed from
the vicinity of the compass.

NOTE: The compass roses shown on navigational
charts have both true North and magnetic North
directions superimposed. Make certain you plot
course compass directions from the magnetic North
compass rose.

When not in use, the compass should be protected
from excessive and prolonged sunlight. If your
compass becomes sluggish or erratic, it should be
serviced by an authorized repair station.

To keep the plexiglass dome free from scratches,
remove salt deposits and dust with a damp cloth.
An occasional treatment with paste wax will help
preserve the dome surface.
