VHF Radio
Rock n Roll
is equipped with an
“Raymarine”
marine VHF radio. Monitor channel 16 while underway,
this is also the frequency for contacting the USCG. Most vessel to vessel traffic occurs on 67. You should
review the communications section of Chapman’s Piloting to familiarize yourself with these rules before
using the transmitter. There is also a cockpit mic for radio use monitoring. It is stored in the nav table when
not in use.
Depth Sounder/Knot Meter/Wind Speed
These instruments are Raymarine and mounted on both helm stations. Each has a cover which should be in
place when not in use. When removed, store them below in the locker to the right of the navigation table.
The depth sounder should provide reliable readings in shallow waters. If in doubt, switch it off. Then turn it
back on to reset. If your reading is blinking, it is a false reading. False readings can occur in depths of more
then 200 feet, or in areas of strong currents or tides.
Global Positioning System (GPS)
A fixed mount Raymarine GPS is also mounted on the binnacle. Refer to the onboard Raymarine manual for
operating instruction. The GPS does integrate with the Raymarine autopilot.
Autopilot
RocknRoll
is equipped with a Raymarine Autopilot. Refer to the onboard Raymarine manual for operating
instructions.
GPS is considered a navigation aid. Do not rely on it. Compasses, charts, and dividers are
the tools to plot position, course, and speed.
AM/FM Stereo Radio – CD Player
The Sony brand AM/FM stereo radio CD player is located at the navigation station. It operates like a normal
car radio. Turn the stereo on and off at the electrical panel with the “Instruments” switch.
