Before using these systems for the first time, read and understand the instruction manuals and observe the following:
Compass
Depth Finder
NOTI C E
•
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.
