ABSTRACT:
A first embodiment of the invention provides a display system which is adapted to be embodied in a marine vessel having marine propulsion unit which is pivotally attached thereto for trim movement about a generally horizontally extending trim axis. The display system includes a trim angle sensor for detecting the trim angle of the propulsion unit and a trim angle display, preferably including both a graphical and a digital display, for precisely displaying information regarding the detected trim angle of the propuslion unit. Other sensors for detecting various other operating and navigating conditions of the vessel can be incorporated into the display system and a single displaying device can be used for displaying trim angle information and information regarding such other detected conditions. Another embodiment of the invention provides a display system which is adapted to be embodied in a marine vessel having a marine propulsion unit including an engine. This display system includes a cumulative engine operating time sensor, preferably in the form of a charge or pulser coil, other sensors for detecting varous other operating and navigating conditions of the vessel, and a single displaying device for displaying the cumulative engine operating time and information regarding at least one of the aforementioned other detected conditions.
