Controls and Indicators
• Oil Pressure - Measures the pressure of the engine’s
lubricating oil. Refer to the engine manual for normal
operating pressure. Many serious engine problems are
reflected on oil pressure gauge readings. If the pressure is
lower than the manufacturer’s specification, immediately
turn OFF the engine. Contact your Nautique dealer to
correct the problem before operating the engine.
• Tachometer / Hour Meter - Registers engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM). Use the tachometer to keep
the engine within the proper operating range. Consult the
engine manual for the proper RPM operating range of your
engine. The hour meter LCD display registers accumulated
engine operating time. Time will not be logged unless the
ignition switch is on and the engine is running. Use the hour
meter to keep accurate logs for scheduled maintenance.
• Speedometer - Your Nautique is equipped with a precision
speedometer by Faria. This gauge registers forward speed in
miles per hour (optional kilometers per hour). The
speedometer is equipped with an adjustment knob to
calibrate speedometer accuracy. You can also use this gauge
to monitor fuel consumption and propeller performance.
• Engine Warning Light - Indicates high engine temperature. If
light illuminates, stop engine and investigate for cause.
• Service Soon Light - For quality control check. When
ignition is turned on without cranking the engine, the red
“check engine” light will turn on for a few seconds and then
turn off. The amber “Service Soon” light will turn on and
stay on until either the engine is started or the ignition is
switched off. When the engine is running both lights will be
off. The amber “service soon” light will come on if there is a
problem with the catalyst system. The red “check engine”
light will come on for all other engine realted problems.
