Chapter 5: Navigation & Communication Equipment
Before using these systems for the first time, read and understand the instruction manuals and observe the following:
Compass
Depth Finder
VHF Radio (If Equipped)
•
The VHF (Very High Frequency) radio can be used to access weather reports, summon assistance or contact other
vessels as permitted by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission).
•
Contact the FCC for licensing, rules and regulations concerning VHF radio usage.
N OT I C E
•
Compass accuracy can be affected by many factors.
•
Have a qualified technician calibrate your compass. Make sure the technician gives you
a deviation card which shows the corrections to apply in navigational calculations.
•
Keep a copy of the deviation card at each helm.
•
DO NOT use the depth finder as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, yacht
damage or personal injury.
•
When the yacht is moving, submerged objects will not be seen until they are already under
the yacht.
•
Bottom depths may change too quickly to allow time for the yacht to react.
•
If you suspect shallow water or submerged objects, run the yacht at very slow speeds.
