For
compass lightning
use a
cyalume light stick which can be found in the inventory box. Bend, shake
and put it into the clip which is installed behind the compass. The compass
will be illuminated with green light for abt. 12 h.
Caution:
When stowed on steel ships a magnetic compass is
permanently influenced by the ship’s magnetic field and
therefore, does not display correctly! Even after leaving the
ship this influence can affect the compass for several weeks,
or it may even have caused permanent damage. A faulty
compass can, therefore, not be accepted as a guarantee.
Fender cushions: These are fitted facing to shipside only to protect boat
and crew against impacts to the ship side during launching. These fenders
are arranged above water line and need therefore NOT to be removed
when operating the boat in emergency. They also might be a valuable
protection during disembarkation to a rescue vessel.
