Warning Light Panel Source?

Post by trwestman »

Last Summer we boated 1 hour to dinner then docked with GenSet running. 1.5 hours at dinner then were returning home when some dash warning lights came on for the stbd engine. These indicators were 5 graphic lights depicting engine overheat and other scary things. The digital gauge readout was normal but I still had to check the engine room. All seemed normal there too. I restarted both engines and the lights did not turn on again or since. MY QUESTION: What system controls these warning lights? Engine sensors only? Engine Transmission Controller?
My thoughts are since the warning lights reset immediately, it must be an electronic controller, but no manual shows these displays.

Those seem to be aftermarket. Can you take a top-down pic so we can see the face of the warning panel? Is there a company name on the face? Have you tried removing the screws and looking at the back for clues? Maybe something like the photo I've attached?

Keep us posted!

Great Idea. I’ll be back at the boat Apr 23-29. I’ll get under the dash and scope it out.
