Chapter 5: Navigation & Communications Equipment
Before using these systems for the first time, read and understand the instruction manuals and observe the following:
VHF Radio (If Equipped)
Your boat may include a VHF (Very High Frequency) radio. The VHF radio can be used to access weather reports,
summon assistance or contact other vessels as permitted by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission). Con-
tact the FCC for licensing, rules and regulations concerning VHF radio usage.
Compass
Depth Finder (If Equipped)
Global Positioning System (GPS) (If Equipped)
NOTI CE
Compass accuracy can be affected by many factors. Have a qualified technician calibrate your
compass. Make sure the technician gives you a deviation card which shows the corrections to
apply in navigational calculations. Keep a copy of the deviation card at each helm.
•
DO NOT use the depth finder as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat
damage or personal injury.
•
When the boat is moving, submerged objects will not be seen until they are already under
the boat. Bottom depths may change too quickly to allow time for the boat to react. If you
suspect shallow water or submerged objects, run the boat at very slow speeds.
WARNI NG!
!
The GPS system should not be relied upon as the only aid to navigation. A qualified operator
must monitor the GPS system at all times and keep look-out for other marine traffic and possi-
ble collision situations.
