will familiarize you with these and their sometimes-distinctive sounds.
Warning: If an engine alarm sounds, shut down the engine until the source of the
problem is determined .
Compass
The compass assists in determining your location by indicating your position relative to magnetic
north. For accuracy, your compass may need to be adjusted to take into account specifics of your
boat and geographic location. Please refer to the material provided with your compass for

Instrument Maintenance
Your instrument faces should be periodically cleaned to keep them free of salt and atmospheric
debris. The ignition switches should be periodically sprayed with a contact cleaner/lubricant to
keep them free of erosion and dirt.
