LOL... thanks guys. This is exactly the debate I've been having in my head after looking at those icons in the manual.
I think coolant level makes sense, since it would be logical that the level would rise as the engine temp rises....
Hi all, sorry for the noob question, but Google and searching the forum isn't leading me anywhere.
Can anyone identify what this gauge is measuring? My owners manual does not have a matching icon and the gauge cluster graphics in the manual do not match my actual boat's gauges.
I'm guessing...
Thanks a lot, appreciate it.
Avg water temp here in summer is 51-53°F (11-12°C). On a really warm day in Aug it’ll hit 55°F near the shore, but I wear a drysuit these days for diving here…. so I assume this still counts as cold water..? ;)
absolutely will not be sitting at the dock all the...

Running around at dusk has been fine, never been out in true darkness partly because I have no mooring lights...
This was a very informative thread as I'm planning on getting salty with my 2014 190 this summer. Sterndrive obviously. Merc 4.3 MPI. 160 hours, all freshwater.
Not to hijack the thread, but is there anything I should be doing beyond flush/wash if I am putting her in the ocean for 2 weeks...
First boat. Humble, but I love her dearly. Cruising @ 50mph is just super.
Bought it in Apr 2020 with 99 hours. Put 70 hours on it in our first two summers. Had a 2nd battery installed last winter and a dash-mounted GPS/fish finder is going in right now (along with a portable VHF for a bit...
