NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED

OPERATION RPM OF THE ENGINE. MAINTAINING

MAXIMUM, OR CLOSE TO MAXIMUM RPM FOR

EXTENDED PERIODS CAN REDUCE THE LIFE OF

THE ENGINE.

Temperature Gauge

The temperature gauge indicates the temperature of the engine

cooling system. A sudden increase in the temperature could sig-

nal a blocked cooling passage or a water pump malfunction

CONTINUED OPERATION OF AN OVERHEATED

ENGINE CAN RESULT IN ENGINE SEIZURE. IF

AN UNUSUALLY HIGH TEMPERATURE READING

OCCURS, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF IMMEDIATELY.

THEN INVE S T I G AT E AN D CO R R E C T TH E

PROBLEM.

Oil Pressure Gauge

The oil pressure gauge monitors the engine lubrication system

pressure. The oil pressure indicated when the engine is new is

usually the reference for normal oil pressure for that engine.

A drop in oil pressure is a possible indication of oil pump

problems, a leak or fuel diluted oil..

Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.

This gauge is merely a relative indication of the available fuel

supply and not a calibrated instrument.

Voltmeter

The voltmeter displays the voltage for the battery and the charg

ing system. The normal voltage is 11 to 12.5 volts with the

engine off, and 13 to 14.5 volts with the engine running.

Hour Meter

The hour meter keeps a record of the operating time for the

engine. The hour meters are typically built into the engine

electronic monitor and display panel.

Rudder Position Indicator

(Optional)

The rudder position indicator shows the current position of

the rudders. The rudder indicator gauge is not a calibrated

instrument and is intended to show the approximate position

of the rudders, primarily as a reference when maneuvering in

tight quarters. Wind and currents will cause a deviation in the

rudder indicator reading.

Depth Gauge (Optional)

The depth gauge indicates the depth of the water below the

bottom of the boat.

Fuel Management

Fuel management systems are optional and could be installed

on your boat. The fuel management gauge is used to moni-

tor the gallons per hour and also total gallons used. Some

fuel management systems are built into the engine electronic

monitor and display panels. If you have a fuel management

system installed on your boat, please refer to the engine or fuel

management manual for information on that system.

Engine Alarm

Most inboard engines are equipped with an audible alarm sys

tem mounted in the helm area that monitors selected critical

engine systems. The alarm will sound if one of these systems

begins to fail. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for informa-

tion on the alarms installed with your engine.

If an engine alarm sounds, immediately shut off the engine

until the problem is found and corrected.

Cat Marine Power Display (MPD)

The Cat Marine Power Display for each engine is installed with

most Caterpillar engines. It is a simple to operate, self-con

tained engine monitoring and display system that provides more

information to the operator than previously available engine

monitoring systems. It monitors RPM, oil pressure, coolant

temperature, battery voltage, turbo boost pressure, transmis-

sion temperature, transmission pressure, fuel consumption and

water in the fuel ﬁlter. If there is a problem with one of these

systems, it will sound an alarm and a diagnostic ﬂag appears

on the screen until the problem is found and resolved.

A conﬁguration screen and sealed control buttons allow the

operator to select different users, English or Metric units, and

the type of display format. Screen format options include

simulated gauge, digital, and bar graph. Additionally, you

can view current engine totals for the current trip or the life of

the engine. Refer to the Cat Marine Power Display owner’s

manual for detailed information on the features and operation

of MPD.

Compass

The compass is on the forward ﬂybridge, forward of the helm.

To adjust the compass for your area, read the instructions on

“Compass Compensation” given to you in the literature packet.

The compass cannot be adjusted accurately at the factory be-

cause it must be compensated for the inﬂuence of the electrical

equipment and electronics unique to your boat. Therefore, the

compass should be adjusted by a professional after the electron-

ics are installed and before operating the boat.

Instrument Maintenance

Electrical protection for instruments and ignition circuitry is

provided by circuit breakers located on the engines. The igni-

tion switch and instrument wire connectors should be sprayed

periodically with a contact cleaner/lubricant. The ignition

switch and all instruments, controls, etc. should be protected

from the weather when not in use. Excessive exposure can

lead to gauge and ignition switch difﬁculties.
