Navigation on-board equipment
All navigation equipment in general, except the compass, is optional. Therefore, in this chapter you
will find some general information on the most usually installed equipment.
For each instrument installed on board, we recommend you to read carefully its instructions
manual provided by the manufacturer and delivered separately.
Compass
•
A standard compass with binnacle, of 5° degrees, is installed on the steering wheel pedestal.
•
To switch on the compass night light, turn on the INSTRUMENT LTS switch in the 12 Vdc
electrical panel (see page 50).
•
When delivered, the compass is not compensated.
•
We recommend you to have it compensated by a skilled technician after all provided
equipment has been fixed into its final housing.
•
Keep away from the compass all instruments and devices which may interfere with its
magnetic field, such as radios, torches, portable tape recorders, cameras with built-in
exposure meter, etc., and all metal objects like cooking pots etc.
Electrical equipment supply
•
The electrical supply of the various devices is activated by the magneto-thermal switches in
the 12 Vdc electrical panel; for further information consult page 50.
Log transducer
•
It is located in the bilge, abaft the fore cabin bed, aligned with the hull longitudinal axis (see
page 57) and therefore easily accessible by lifting the relevant floorboard.
•
When not using the log transducer and especially when leaving the boat for a long time, we
advise you to withdraw the label and place it in the rest position in order to prevent it from
being damaged by half-floating objects.
•
Remember to withdraw the log transducer before hauling the boat.
