Rudder Angle Indicator Gauge - Inboards; Navigational Equipment - Four winns 248 Vista Owner's Manual

O. Rudder Angle Indicator Gauge - Inboards
This gauge provides you with the information regarding
the angle of the rudders relative to the straight ahead
position. A rudder angle sender sends the angle infor-
mation to the rudder angle indicator gauge mounted on
the lower instrument gauge panel. See Section G-4 for
more information regarding the rudder angle indicator.

1. Ship to Shore VHF Radio
A VHF radio is optional equipment offered with a selec-
tion of one of the navigation packages offered. It pro-
vides reliable communication between vessels, and from
ship to public or private shore stations. It is programmed
for two-way communication on all the International, U.S.
and Canadian channels plus reception on separate
weather channels, and the international calling and
safety channels (16/9).
The VHF radio with microphone is mounted on the helm.
If equipped, additional information is included in the manu-
facturer's literature included in the owner's packet.
2. GPS/Plotter/Radar
A GPS/chart plotter is an electronic system through which
a navigator can determine his position regardless of
weather. The GPS sensor receives high frequency radio
signals generated from satellites to generate coordinate
readings on the display. The GPS navigational unit takes
this information and uses it to determine the vessel's
exact position and indicates the vessels position on the
chart plotter. The chart plotter allows one's course to
be plotted electronically. Factory installed GPS/Plotter
system is one of the optional navigational packages of-
fered. It is mounted at the helm. If equipped, refer to the
manufacturer's literature included in the owner's packet.
