NOTE: Instrument panel for all other engines is covered following this story.

All controls and gauges are optional equipment on John Deere Marine Engines. They may be supplied by the boat builder instead of John Deere. The following information applies only to those controls and gauges for mechanically controlled engines provided by John Deere. Consult your boat builder for information on instrumentation other than those supplied by John Deere.

IMPORTANT: Any time an electric gauge or meter does not register correctly, replace it with a new one. Do not attempt to repair it.

NOTE: Main station instrument panel shown, fly bridge panel is similar except it does not have a key switch (J) or hour meter (G).

The optional instrument (gauge) panel available from your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer is recommended for propulsion units only and is not equipped with safety shut-down devices, only audible and visible warning devices provided.

Following is a brief description of the available optional gauges and warning devices:

A—Engine Oil Pressure Gauge

The oil pressure gauge (A) indicates engine oil pressure. It is connected to an audible alarm (D) and a warning light (N) for warning the operator if engine oil pressure falls below a safe operating pressure.

NOTE: Refer to photo on previous page.

B—Tachometer

The tachometer (B) indicates engine speed in hundreds of revolutions per minute (rpm).

C—Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge

The engine coolant temperature gauge (C) indicates the engine coolant temperature. It is connected to an audible alarm and a warning light (M) to warn the operator if coolant temperature rises above the preset safe operating temperature.

D—Audible Alarm

The audible alarm (D) will sound (and warning light will appear) whenever low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, low battery voltage, or water-in-fuel condition exists.

E—Reset (Audible Alarm Override) Switch

The reset switch (E) has a button that silences the audible alarm for approximately 2-1/2 minutes when depressed.

F—Stop Switch

The stop switch (F) has a button which when depressed and held in, will stop the engine with key switch at any position. The button must be held in until engine is completely stopped.

G—Hour Meter

The electric hour meter (G) is used to show the operating time of an engine while key switch is in the “ON” position. The hour meter records the time in tenths of an hour and should be used as a guide for scheduling periodic maintenance.

H—Start Switch

The start switch (H) has a button which when depressed and held in, operates the starting motor. The engine will only start with key switch in the “ON” position.

J—Key Switch

The two position (ON—OFF) key switch (J) controls the engine electrical system, it does not start nor stop the engine. When the switch is in the “ON” position, the engine may be started or stopped by depressing each respective button. When the switch is in the ”OFF” position, the engine may be stopped but it can not be started.

K—Water-In-Fuel Warning Light

L—Low Battery Voltage Warning Light

M—High Coolant Temperature Warning Light

N—Low Oil Pressure Warning Light

O—Voltmeter

The voltmeter (O) indicates system battery voltage.
