Radar (If Equipped)
•
The marine radar system gives you a complete and accurate 360° radar view of other vessels, buoys, and landfall
surrounding your vessel.
•
To turn this system On, the RADAR switch on the DC breaker panel must be switched On.
Global Positioning System (GPS) (If Equipped)
GPS receivers provide reliable and accurate position data, anywhere in the world.
Radar is meant to help the navigator, not replace him/her. The operator is responsible for keep-
ing a visual look-out for possible collision situations. No single navigation aid (including this
radar) should be relied upon as the only method for navigating your yacht.
