Engine Status Panel
U.S. only
Markets controlled by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency
Your boat may have an engine status panel, located at
the helm. The panel provides you with visual and
audible indications of any faults that may be occurring
in the engine or emission control system.
Some boat builders provide the fault indications
through their gauges or multifunction displays.
See Engine Status Panel Function, page 73 for an
explanation of how the fault indicators function.
NOTICE! All malfunctions should be investigated as
soon as possible. Engine damage is possible if alarms
and indicator lights are ignored.
Powertrim
Your Volvo Penta drive is equipped with a power trim
system as standard equipment. The power trim allows
the operator to raise and lower the drive from the helm.
This changes the angle of the drive (and its thrust) in
relation to the boat bottom. This is called trimming, and
provides the following benefits:
•
Improves acceleration to planing.
•
Keeps the boat on plane at reduced throttle settings.
•
Improves fuel economy.
•
Provides smoother and/or drier ride in choppy water
conditions.
•
Increases maximum speed.
WARNING!
Risk of personal injury. Read the procedures and
safety messages in Operation before operating these
controls.
Trim system controls and gauges are shown in this
section. Use of the trim system during boating and
related safety messages are covered in Powertrim/
Tilt, page 36 in Operation. Do not operate the trim
system until you have read that chapter.
