Does anyone recognise these warning lights?

From chatgpt.

These are common motorboat engine warning/indicator lights. Here’s what each symbol means (left to right):

Top Row​

  1. Oil can
    🔴 Engine Oil Pressure Warning
    • Low oil pressure or oil level
    • Stop the engine immediately and check oil
  2. Thermometer over waves
    🔴 Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
    • Engine overheating
    • Could be blocked water intake, failed impeller, or low coolant
  3. Thermometer in water (vertical style)
    🔴 Exhaust / Cooling Water Temperature Warning
    • Cooling water flow problem
    • Often indicates raw water flow failure (impeller issue)

Bottom Row​

  1. Battery symbol
    🟠 Battery / Charging System Warning
    • Alternator not charging
    • Battery voltage low or charging fault
  2. Filter with fluid (striped bottom)
    🟠 Fuel Filter / Water in Fuel Warning
    • Water detected in fuel separator
    • Drain water from fuel filter
  3. Tank with fluid level
    🟠 Coolant Level Warning
    • Engine coolant level low
    • Check and refill coolant reservoir

Color Meaning​

  • 🔴 Red = Serious — stop engine as soon as safe
  • 🟠 Amber/Orange = Warning — check soon
If you'd like, tell me the engine brand (e.g., Volvo Penta, Yamaha, Mercury) and I can confirm the exact meanings for your specific panel.
 
Is top left not a low oil pressure warning indicator?:unsure:

Edit:
Since I posted, westernman has revised his previous AI generated reply and corrected the error(s), so my post is somewhat unnecessary.:)
His AI generated response was:
First button (top-left): Icon of an open hood with a drop coming out — This is the hood open warning light (or bonnet ajar indicator). It means the hood/bonnet is not fully closed or latched properly. Check that it's securely shut; if it persists when closed, there may be a faulty latch sensor or misalignment.

Yes. First reply from from grok ai which seemed to be just wrong.
Second reply from chatgpt which looks much more sensible.

AI can sometimes be useful. But don't ever trust it.

The YBW forum is a community of likeminded individuals with a common interest. The purpose of the forum is to interact and converse with others interested in boats, sailing and the sea. Forum members build up a coterie of people who can be trusted.

On that basis there is no place for wholesale posting of AI generated content - which has been shown, on several occasions, to provide inaccurate data.

By all means consult AI off-forum, but posts on-forum should be in the words of the individual. A personal communique with other community members, sharing information drawn from one's own knowledge and experience.

Please, keep it human.
