Electronic Systems
Computer Charting
There are multiple chart plotters on board Lioness. This provides

navigation is not a replacement for paper charts, but both methods should

Please be sure that the switches are turned on at the main electrical panel
and navigation sub-panel behind the wheel.
The Garmin 7610 is the main electronic navigation unit for the vessel. Press

fly bridge when needed. The Garmin units can display both AIS and radar to
monitor other vessels.

to the left of the other units. Please do not change this display.
The Lowrance unit is a backup plotter for the PH. It has its own GPS
antenna and navigation charts so it can function independently of the
Garmin.
VHF Radios
The ICOM radios in the Pilothouse should be turned on
whenever operating the vessel. We keep the starboard
radio on channel 16 and the port radio on scan. The
starboard radio is also equipped with an AIS receiver as a
backup to the AIS in the Furuno chart plotter. When
Lioness crosses into or out of Canada change to the Canadian mode.
When operating the vessel from the flybridge take one of the handheld
radios from the charger on the chart table.
