2470 CENTER CONSOLE
RUNNING AGROUND OR STRIKING AN UNDERWATER OBSTRUCTION CAN RE-
SULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR OR BOAT. IF YOUR
BOAT RUNS AGROUND, EVALUATE THE DAMAGE THEN PROCEED AT LOW
SPEED TO THE NEAREST SERVICE FACILITY AND HAVE AN IMMEDIATE IN-
SPECTION MADE BEFORE FURTHER USE OF THE CRAFT. A DAMAGED BOAT
CAN TAKE ON WATER. KEEP ALL LIFE SAVING DEVICES CLOSE AT HAND
WHILE DRIVING TO A DOCK AREA. IF THE BOAT CANNOT BE IMMEDIATELY
REMOVED FROM THE WATER, THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE BILGE AREA FOR
LEAKS SO THAT THE BOAT DOES NOT SINK WHILE MOORED.
1.6 Engine Instrumentation
The helm station is equipped with a set of engine instruments and/or alarms. These instruments
allow the pilot to monitor the engine’s operational conditions. Close observation of these
instruments allows the pilot to operate the engine(s) at the most efficient level and could save the
engine(s) from serious costly damage. The instrumentation is unique to the type of outboard
motors installed on your Pursuit. Some or all of the following gauges may be present.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the speed of the engine(s) in revolutions per minute (RPM) This speed
is not the boat speed nor necessarily the speed of the propeller. The tachometer may not register
zero with the key in the "OFF" position.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED OPERATION RPM OF THE EN-
GINE. MAINTAINING MAXIMUM, OR CLOSE TO MAXIMUM RPM FOR EX-
TENDED PERIODS CAN REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the boat in miles per hour.
Temperature Warning
The temperature warning indicates the temperature of the engine. A sudden increase in the
temperature could indicate an obstructed water inlet or an impeller failure.
CONTINUED OPERATION OF AN OVERHEATED ENGINE CAN RESULT IN ENGINE
SEIZURE. IF AN UNUSUALLY HIGH TEMPERATURE READING OCCURS, SHUT
THE ENGINE OFF IMMEDIATELY. THEN INVESTIGATE AND CORRECT THE
PROBLEM.
