Four Position Ignition Switch
F.
Fuel Gauge (4-in-1 Gauge)
Most models use an ignition switch with four positions:
OFF, RUN, ACCESSORIES, and START. Just like the
three position switch, theSTARTpositionisspringloaded
and the key should be held in this position until the en-
gine starts. The key will return to the RUN position once
released. Always turn the key to the OFF position when
the engine is not running. This will prevent discharging of
the battery(s). TheACCESSORIES position allows the
operator to run the stereo without activating the other
ship’s systems. Additional information on ignition switch
operationiscoveredinSectionAOperation,ofthismanual.
The fuel gauge displays the level of fuel that is present in
the fuel tank. The fuel gauge will operate when the igni-
tion switch supplying power to the fuel gauge is in the
RUNposition.
Due to the mechanical nature of the fuel sender, varia-
tions in readings during various speeds of operation may
occur. This system is merely a relative indication of the
available fuel supply and not a calibrated instrument.
Refer to Section I-1E - Fuel Senders for additional infor-
mation.
J. Emergency Stop Switch
NOTICE
This safety device automatically stops the engine if the
lanyard is attached to the operator and the operator falls
from his work station. Refer to the engine manual for
detailed information about using this switch.
Useonlycleanfuelofthetypeandgraderecom-
mendedbytheenginemanufacturer. Theuseof
incorrect or contaminated fuel can cause engine
malfunction and serious damage. Refer to Sec-
tion I - Fuel Systems for additional information.
The emergency stop switch (Figure E7) incorporates a
shutoff switch, switch clip, lanyard, and lanyard clip.
The lanyard clip must be securely attached to the
operator’s PFD, clothing, arm, or leg. Be sure to attach
the lanyard to a place where it is free of obstructions
and to something that will move with the operator if he or
she leaves the helm station. If the engine shuts down
because this switch was activated, the clip may have to
be reinstalled on the interrupter switch before the en-
gine can be started.
G. Power Trim Gauge
Boats equipped with sterndrives also have a “power trim
gauge.” This gauge provides a visual indication of the
inward-outward(trimangle)positionoftheoutdrive. There
is not a trailer travel mode on the gauge.
H. Depth Sounder
The depth sounder isstandardequipmenton most mod-
els. It consists of two main components, the trans-
ducerandthedepthsounder. Thetransducerismounted
to the hull and the depth sounder is installed in the dash.
The transducer and depth sounder communicate by
means of a cable, and are powered by your boat’s 12-
volt DC battery. The transducer and depth sounder use
the basic principle of sonar to indicate the water’s depth.
Please read the manufacturer’s literature included with
the owner’s packet for information regarding operation
and maintenance.
Keep emergency stop switch lanyard free from
obstructions that could interfere with its opera-
tion. Do not modify or remove emergency stop
switch or bypass its safety features. The proper
use of the emergency stop switch will prevent a
runaway boat situation which can cause severe
personal injury or death.
