below the keel or the depth below the transducer.
Pressthe up or down arrow switches to adjust the
reading to the desired depth no more than 19.9 ft.
For example if the bottom of the keel is 2.5 feet below
the transducer and you want the depth sounder to
read the depth below the keel, the display should be
adjusted to read 2.5 FT.
without activating the other ship’s systems. Additional
information on ignition switch operation is covered in
Section A Operation, of this manual.
J.
Emergency Stop Switch
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.
NOTE: Once a keel offset is programmed, the shallow
and deep alarms will be activated by the depth below
the keel.
Units - Change the unit of measure. The lower display The emergency stop switch (Figure E7) incorporates
will show “UNIT” and the upper display will show ei-
ther “US” or “EURO” for metric units. Pressing the up
or down switches will cycle through the choices.
Pressing the “Mode” switch will save the units shown
in the display and change the display
a shutoff switch, switch clip, lanyard, and lanyard clip.
The lanyard clip must be securely attached to the op-
erator’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 engine can be started.
Back to the normal depth mode. There will be no units
shown in the displays. It will be up to the operator to
determine the units from the temperature reading.
The depth sounder is not to be used for
navigation or as a device to avoid grounding
which may result in boat damage or personal
injury. Do not rely on depth sounder to avoid
submerged objects. Depth sounders provide a
relative indication of water depth only. Always
use caution operating in shallow areas and
maintain a very slow speed. Be aware that
depths may change too quickly for you to react
and avoid grounding.
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.
NOTICE
DO NOT depend solely upon the depth
sounder for water depth. It is important to have
navigational charts of the waters in which you
are operating.
I.
Four Position Ignition Switch
Most models use an ignition switch with four positions:
OFF, RUN, ACCESSORIES, and START. Just like
the three position switch, the START position is spring
loaded and the key should be held in this position
until the engine 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). The ACCES-
SORIES position allows the operator to run the stereo
