Installation and Operation Manual

NAVMAN
It is the owner’s sole responsibility to install and use the instrument in a manner that will
not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is solely
responsible for observing safe boating practices.
Global Positioning System:
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US
Government which is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The
GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment anywhere in the world including the TRACKFISH. Whilst the Navman TRACKFISH is a
precision navigation instrument, it can be misused or misinterpreted, which can result in its use
being unsafe. To reduce the risk of misusing or misinterpreting the TRACKFISH, the user must
read and understand all aspects of this Installation and Operation manual. We also suggest that
the user practice all operations using the built in simulator before using the TRACKFISH at sea.
Electronic Chart:
The electronic chart used by the TRACKFISH is an aid to navigation and is
designed to supplement the use of official government charts not replace them. Only official
government charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for
safe and prudent navigation. Always supplement the information provided by the TRACKFISH
with other plotting sources such as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass
bearings. Should the information not agree then the discrepancy must be resolved before
proceeding any further.
Sonar fishfinder:
The accuracy of the sonar depth display can be limited by many factors,
including the type of the transducers, the location of the transducers and water conditions. It is
the user’s responsibility to ensure the TRACKFISH transducers are installed and used correctly.
Fuel Computer:
Fuel economy can alter drastically depending on the boat loading and sea
conditions. The fuel computer should not be the sole source of information concerning available
fuel onboard and the electronic information should be supplemented by visual or other checks
of the fuel load. This is necessary due to possible operator induced errors such as forgetting
to reset the fuel used when filling the tank, running the engine with the fuel computer not
switched on or other operator controlled actions that may render the device inaccurate. Always
ensure that adequate fuel is carried onboard for the intended trip plus a reserve to allow for
unforeseen circumstances.
