Please refer to the manufacturer’s literature for program-
ming the GPS unit for speed readings. This information
is included in the owner’s packet when the boat is  or-
dered with the navigation package.
NOTICE
Speedometers/speed indicators are not preci-
sion instruments.  The  indications are relative
and should never be used for navigational pur-
poses or similar critical  situations alone.  Use
other navigation systems in conjunction with the
speedometer.
NOTICE
DO NOT rely on the speed indicator when trying
to achieve a “NO WAKE” condition in a harbor or
other enclosed waterway.  ALWAYS be cogni-
zant of the size of your waves your boat is mak-
ing and reduce throttle until you are sure  that
they  will  not cause  any  damage.    You are
responsible for damage caused by the wake of
your boat.
C.   Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge monitors the cooling system of
the engine. Asudden increase in the temperature could
be a signal of a blocked cooling passage or a water pump
malfunction.

NOTICE
The speedometer is a water pressure sensitive unit.  It
has a pick-up (pitot tube) assembly mounted on the tran-
som and a small  plastic hose (speedo tube) that  con-
nects it to  the speedometer gauge on  the dash.  See
Figure E10. The pitot tube extends below the hull. Wa-
ter strikes the tube inlet and creates positive pressure.
The faster the boat speed, the greater the pressure, and
the higher the speed indication on the speedometer.
Operation of an overheated engine can result in
engineseizure.  Ifanunusuallyhightemperature
reading occurs, shut the engine off immediately.
