Navigational Instruments
All the navigation instruments, except the compass, are
optional. Some general information is given on the most
commonly used instruments.
Always read the Owner’s Manual supplied by the Manufacturer
for all the instruments installed on board.
Compass
◊
The yacht is equipped with a standard compass mounted in the
binnacle on the wheel pedestal.
• At delivery, the compass is not adjusted.
• Remember to have the compass adjusted by a qualified compass
adjuster when all the other fittings and instruments have been
installed.
• Keep portable radios, torch-lights, tape-recorders, cameras with
built-in exposure meter and other instruments containing batteries
or metal objects such as pots etc. away from the compass since
they strongly affect the magnetic field of the compass.
Instruments Electrical Supply
• The electric power supply of the various instruments is activated
by the magneto-thermal switches in the 12 Vdc Service Panel: for

Depth Sounder Transducer (Opt)
• The Depth Sounder Transducer is located right in front of the mast
step, under the floor boards of the fore cabin and is accessible
through a bilge well.
Log Transducer (Opt)
• The Log Transducer is located in the front of the mast step, on the left
of the Depth Sounder Transducer, with the same access.
• When the log is not used, and especially when the yacht is left
unattended for a long period of time, the transducer should be
pulled-up to avoid damage caused by floating objects, dirt and
growth.
• Remember to pull-up the log transducer before haul out.
