Owner’s Manual Supplement
Depth Finder (Option)
VHF Radio (Option)
Your yacht may include an (optional) VHF (Very High Frequency) radio at the helm. The VHF radio can be used to
access weather reports, summon assistance or contact other vessels as permitted by the FCC (Federal Communica-
tions Commission). Contact the FCC for licensing, rules and regulations concerning VHF radio usage.
Lighting
The lights on your yacht are of top quality, but you should be aware that failure may occur for a variety of reasons:
1. There may be a tripped breaker - reset the breaker switch.
2. The bulb may be burned out - carry spare bulbs for replacement.
3. The bulb base may be corroded - clean the base and coat it with non-conductive electrical lubricant.
4. A wire may be damaged or may have come loose - repair as required.
Spotlight (Option)
Your yacht may come equipped with an (optional) spotlight located on the command bridge. The spotlight is con-
trolled from a switch at the helm. Operating instructions can be found in the spotlight’s operating manual, which is
included in your yacht’s owner’s packet.
Navigation Lights
Navigation lights are essential to safe navigation at night. Read the Coast Guard publication included in your
owner’s packet and if necessary take a boating safety class.
•
Do not use the depth finder as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, yacht dam-
age or personal injury.
•
When the yacht is moving, submerged objects will not be seen until they are already
under the yacht. Bottom depths may change too quickly to allow time for the yacht
operator to react. If you suspect shallow water or submerged objects, operate your yacht at
very slow speeds.
WARN I NG!
!
Prolonged operation of interior lights (overnight) will result in a drained battery. Be conserva-
tive in the use of battery power.
CAUTI O N! !
