Owner’s Manual Supplement
Audio & Visual Equipment
All audio and visual equipment installed on your yacht have separate instruction sheets or manuals that explain
their operating procedures in detail.
Navigation & Communication Equipment
The owner’s packet contains operation manuals for all navigation & communication equipment installed on your
yacht. We strongly recommend that you thoroughly read and understand these manuals before using these systems.
Additionally, read the warnings below carefully and follow all safety recommendations.
Autopilot (Option)
Your yacht may feature an optional autopilot system which can be activated from the helm. The autopilot will aid
you in maintaining the chosen heading of your yacht automatically.
Compass
Your yacht is equipped with a compass, located at the helm.
Depth Finder (Option)
Your yacht may feature an optional depth finder (depth sounder) at the helm station. The depth finder provides you
with measurements of water depth beneath the boat.
Radar (Option)
Your yacht may be equipped with an optional radar system, which is activated from the helm station. Radar provides
you with a complete and accurate 360° radar picture of other vessels, buoys, and landfall surrounding your vessel.
NOTI C E
AM radio reception may be impaired anytime the engines are running.
Never leave the helm while the autopilot system is on! Someone should always stay at the helm as
a lookout in case a dangerous situation suddenly develops.
WARNI NG! !
NOTI C E
Τ
he autopilot system is only an aid to navigation. It’s accuracy can be affected by many factors,
including equipment failure or defects, environmental conditions & improper handling or use.
NOTI C E
Compass accuracy can be affected by many factors. We strongly recommend having a quali-
fied 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 operator to react.
If you suspect shallow water or submerged objects, operate the boat at very slow speeds.
