Speedometer Calibration
The factory calibrates your speedometers before you receive your boat. However, from
time to time you will need to recalibrate. To quickly recalibrate to AWSA official
tournament rules, you will need an accurately measured ski course of 850 feet and a
certified stopwatch accurate to a thousandth of a second. This will allow you to calibrate
according to AWSA official tournament rules.
1. Approach the course at a speed of 36 MPH. Hold the speed steady and have observer
check the course with the stopwatch as you pass through the beginning of the course.
2. The course time should be between 15.88 and 16.28 seconds. No adjustments are
necessary if within this tolerance.
3. If the course time is not within this tolerance, adjust the rocker switches up or down
until you are calibrated.
Multi Gauge
This single gauge combines the functions of four individual gauges for quick monitoring
at-a-glance.
●
Temperature Gauge
The Temperature Gauge indicates the
temperature of the water/coolant inside the
engine. The proper operating range for your
engine is between 140-160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Engines equipped with the optional Monsoon
engine have a control in the engine control
module that will cause the engine to run at
reduced speeds if the module senses that the
engine is running to hot. If you notice that your
speed has reduced during normal operation
without reducing the throttle, monitor your
temperature gauge. If your gauges indicate
excessive temperatures during operation, slow
down immediately and turn off engine.
Continuing to operate the boat while the temperature is above normal operating
parameters may cause serious damage to your engine.
●
Voltmeter Gauge
The voltmeter indicates whether the battery is charging or discharging. The needle
should be in the normal range (approximately 14 volts) while the engine is running.
Readings in either warning zone indicate a possible problem in the electrical system.
●
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the quantity of fuel remaining in the tank when the ignition
is in the “ON” position. Although your fuel tank will still have some fuel remaining
even though the gauge reads empty, it is recommended that the tank be filled when
the gauge indicates 1/4 full.
