WARNING 

 

The  Equipment  is  an  aid  to  navigation  only.  It  is  not  intended  or  designed  to  replace  the 
person  on  watch.  A  qualified  person  should  always  be  in  a  position  to  monitor  the  vessel’s 
heading, and to watch for navigational hazards, and should be prepared to revert to manual 
steering  immediately  if  an  undesired  change  of  heading  occurs,  if  the  heading  is  not 
maintained within reasonable limits, or when navigating in a hazardous situation. 
 

ALWAYS REMEMBER: 

WHENEVER UNDER WAY, A QUALIFIED PERSON ON WATCH IS REQUIRED BY LAW.
