1st Ride
All went well. Busted the cheap cooler that is enclosed in counter. You would think Fountain would put styrofoam block underneath. One lower head door latch screw fell out.
Boat RAN great. I assume the pilot lights that beep are the rev limiters? Not sure. They are located above monster gauges.
GPS isn't working well sticks off and on.
Still have lots to learn. I think I'll keep it for now.
Then in the mailbox was 4 packages of payment books. Bummer. I hate that part but makes me work harder.

The 2 red indicator lights between the speedo and tachs are the warning lights that light in addition to the buzzers on mine.
Drive oil, oil press, and engine temp warning

Re: 1st Ride
Dave,
Sounds like you had fun. The boat really looks good.
Like USA said those lights use to be tied into the warning buzzers for the engines. I am not positive if they are used that way with the Smartcraft on the 525's. Didn't someone at the dealership deliver the boat to you? Fountain dealers were required to do so when I bought my boat.

Re: 1st Ride
