Marine gauges are usually console-mounted to allow boaters an overview of the operations at a glance. Each boat gauges indicates an important boating function such as travelling speed, engine temperature, the number of operating hours, the water depth, fuel level, wind speed, water temperature, oil pressure and the amount of electricity being generated. Trouble is, moisture is the enemy of electronics and can cause them to malfunction or just stop working altogether. When your boat gauges are no longer functioning accurately, replacement is recommended over repair. Here is an overview of how boat owners may troubleshoot their gauges to determine if they are functioning properly.

Power trim permits control of the angle of the propeller shaft relative to the boat bottom at the touch of a button (Figure 8-28). While on plane, the angle of the boat bottom to the water has much to do with maximum top speed, fuel economy, handling, and choppy-water ride. more

Not only does this allow the engine to develop full power, but equally important, the engine also will be operating in an RPM range that discourages damaging detonation. This, of course, enhances overall reliability and durability of the engine. [links]

Since low pressure is the cause of cavitation, anything that fur­ther reduces the pressure on any side of the torpedo will hasten cavitation. Trimming the unit out will cause lower pressure on the underside of the torpedo, around the skeg; but an even more insidious culprit is the effect of a surfacing propeller pulling the aft end of the torpedo to the right with a right-hand rotation propeller. This causes lower pressure on the left side because of the angle at which the gearcase is forced to run through the water. This is commonly called the "crab" angle (Figure 8-40). The typical combination of a surfacing right-hand propeller and trimming out for best speed creates an extra-low pressure pocket on the lower left side of the torpedo.

Due to the horsepower/RPM characteristics of an engine, this will result in further loss of horsepower at the propeller with an additional decrease in boat speed. This secondary loss, however, can be somewhat regained by switching to a lower pitch propeller that allows the engine to again run at the recommended RPM. [links]

I suspected that there were "options" based simply on the fact that when I got my service manual in the mail last night. I noticed that on one of the "fuse holders" there is a spare fuse slot that is wired in, while there is two additional fuse slots that are not wired. [links]
