3IN1 WATER TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
Lower Left 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 off 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!
