What is this gauge on my boat?

Question

I have a new boat, and all the gauges are self-explanatory except one: it has an icon composed of a circle bisected horizontally by a wavy line (apparently indicating liquid of some sort). There are arrows above and below the circle, both pointing at it.

Thanks in advance to the knowers!

Answer 1

That would have to be a trim Gauge indicating the angle of the trim~

Answer 2

it might be a trim gauge to tell you that your drive is either trimmed up or down. if it's not, then I don't know. check the owners manuel, since it's new.

Answer 3

it most probably shows port/startboad pitch in degrees...though, i would expect a good quality marine compass to give you that.

if its not that, its probably true wind direction or VMG velocity made good if its hooked up to a GPS.

give me an email with a pic if you want.btw, what size/type of boat is it?

Answer 4

Sounds like a trim gauge, but that wouldn't be nearly so useful on that boat as a water pressure gauge.
