VOLVO WATER SPORTS MFD –COMMON SETTINGS
(SURF MODELS)
If equipped with a single Water Sports MFD (multi-function display) and separate round gauges, the fuel level will be
analog driven and displayed on the separate speed/fuel gauge. The MFD will not give digital fuel level.
If equipped with two Water Sports MFDs (multi-function displays), all data capabilities such as maps, sonar, and
engine data can be displayed on either screen. The screens do not have to display the same information. You can have
maps on one display and vessel/water sports information on the other. The right screen is normally the default screen
for surf control (Water Sports).
Ensure all three seacocks are in the open position and two hoses are attached to each bag before attempting to fill the
ballast bags. The seacocks are located in the engine compartment, just forward of the engine. The ballast bags are
under cockpit seats and in the ski locker (select models).
