for re-use or left to continue to accumulate
fuel usage.
Fuel Remaining
Displays the fuel remaining based on a
manually entered amount of fuel minus
the amount of “Trip Fuel Consumed”.
Display shows “REMXXX.X”. This
reading is independent of the fuel “gauge”
reading.
In normal use the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank is adjusted manually (see below)
when the fuel tank is filled so that this
display shows the total amount of fuel in
the tank. The Trip Fuel Consumed is then
reset to zero. As fuel is used (displayed in
the Trip Fuel Consumed) this display will
show the decreasing amount of fuel
remaining.
Pressing the “mode-M” for more than one
second will access the option available for
this function.
a) Add to or remove gallons from the Fuel
Remaining. Display shows “R+-XXX.X”.
Holding the “Up” button will increase the
amount and holding the “Down” button
will decrease the amount. Holding the
“mode-M” button for more that one
second will set the remaining fuel to the
value shown in the display and return the
menu to fuel remaining.
This feature allows the operator to
accurately set the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank when adding fuel. The accuracy
of this manually entered value directly
affects the Fuel Remaining and Fuel
Remaining Alarm functions, and should be
done carefully.
Fuel Remaining Alarm Setting
Displays the setting for the “Low Fuel”
alarm. The display shows “ALRXXX.X”.
When the “Fuel Remaining” reaches this
amount, the “Low Fuel” alarm will sound
and a warning LED will flash in the
display. The display will automatically go
into “set” mode to allow the operator to
reset the alarm value to a lower value to
turn off the alarm if desired. If the option
is set to zero, the “Low Fuel” alarm will be
disabled.
Pressing the “mode-M” for more than one
second will access the option available for
this function.
a) Set the amount of fuel remaining when
the alarm will go off. The display shows
“A+-XXX.X”. Holding the “Up” button
will increase the amount and holding the
“Down” button will decrease the amount.
Holding the “mode-M” button for more
that one second will set the fuel alarm to the

value shown in the display and return the

function.
Engine Hourmeter
Displays the number of hours that the
engine has been operated. The display will
show “XXXXX.XH”.
There are no adjustments for this display.
Total Fuel Consumed (Power-On Mode)
To access this function hold the
Tachometer “mode-M” switch on while
applying power to the system. There are
two functions displayed in this mode:
1. Clear Total Fuel Consumed: The display
shows “CLR TOT”. If the “mode-M” button
is held for more than one second while the
display shows “CLR TOT”, the Total Fuel
Consumed display will be set to zero and
normal operation will start. To skip this
feature, press the “mode-M” button for less
than 1 second.
2. Total Fuel Consumed: A quick press of
the “mode-M” button will show the second
item, Total Fuel Consumed since last reset.
The display will show “GXXXXX.X” or
“LXXXXX.X”. If the “mode-M” button is
pressed and held while the display shows
“G or LXXXX.X” the normal program
will start up with no changes to the total.
To clear this, a quick press on the
“mode-M” button will return to step #1
above.
SystemCheck®
Evinrude FICHT engines employ an
information system to warn the operator
when a problem occurs in the engine or
engine controls. The warning signals come
from discrete inputs and from the EMM
on the engine (see the wiring guide at the
end of this manual for a description of the
connections). If a SystemCheck warning is
detected while the engine is running, the
audible alarm will sound for 10 seconds
and the LCD will flash red and the display
the error message. If there is more than
one warning, the display will cycle through
all the warning messages.
If a problem is detected while the engine
is not running, the warning message will
be displayed as long as the warning input
is active. The audible alarm will not sound.
Descriptions of FICHT error codes that
are displayed in the Tachometer/Fuel
Management LCD are listed below. These
are accurate at time of printing. Consult
your owner’s manual for latest
information.

error codes.
