Red “background” on tachometer display Cobalt Glass Cockpit
Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:43 am
Greetings:
Our 2020 R-5 has the Volvo Penta 300 HP DuoProp and the maximum RPM is in the area of 5900.
For the first 2 years (50 hours?) of operations, the background on the tachometer display/gauge would go red when operating at 5000 RPM or above. I notice now with 75 hours in the 3rd year, the tachometer background no longer goes red above 5000 RPM. I just noticed this after an update was done to the the Volvo EVC, but it could have been before.
Anyway this is simply a function of the boat “break in” period or do I need to look to restore a full-time capability of the display to go red as before?
