2017 OWNERS MANUAL / 84
Further, it is not recommended to allow the fuel to fall below one-
quarter of a tank full at any time as it may result in damage to the
fueling system. (See the Fueling section of this Owner’s Manual.)
Allowing the fuel level in the fuel tank to fall below one-quarter of
a tank full may aect the reliability of the fuel pump or result in
damage to the fuel pump, which is not covered under warranty.
3IN1 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
GAUGE
Lower Right Side
The engine oil pressure gauge indicates
the pressure of the lubricating oil inside the
engine. The average pressure ranges are
between six (6) pounds per square inch
(PSI) at 1000 RPM to 40 PSI or more at
cruise-range speeds. A reading of pressure
below 5 PSI at 1000 RPM may be caused by a low oil level or other
potentially serious problems that result in low oil pressure, causing
a red warning light to appear at the bottom of the gauge.
If you experience low oil pressure, stop your engine immediately and
check your oil level before operating again.
Do not continue to run the engine if the oil pressure is low. If you
do, the engine may become so hot that it, or surrounding compo-
nents, could catch fire. You or others could be burned and the boat
seriously damaged. Check your oil level and add an appropriate
amount of approved motor oil before operating again or have your
boat serviced by your local authorized dealer’s service depart-
ment. Note that damage to your engine from inappropriate oil
levels can be costly to repair. Such damage is not covered by your
warranty.
3IN1 WATER TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
Lower Lef Side
The temperature gauge indicates the water
temperature inside the engine’s cooling
system as measured in degrees Fahrenheit.
The normal operating temperature will range
from 140 degrees Fahrenheit to 190 degrees
Fahrenheit. Engines with electronic fuel
injection also have a control circuit inside the
engine control module that will cause the engine to run at reduced
speeds if the module senses that the engine is running too hot. If
you notice that your speed has reduced during normal operation,
but you have not manually slowed the throttle, monitor your tem-
perature gauge.
If the gauge indicates excessive temperatures during operation,
slow down immediately and turn o the engine. This indicates an
engine problem that needs to be checked by the dealer.
Continuing to operate the boat while the temperature is above
normal operating parameters may cause serious damage to your
engine. Damage to your engine resulting from operating the engine
in an overheated condition can be costly to repair. Such damage is
not covered by your warranty!
