4H8: Electronics: AIS (Automatic Identification System)
This boat is equipped with Class B AIS. The system is automatic and no inputs are required by
the operator. This system allows other vessels equipped with AIS to share and automatically update
their position, speed, course and vessel information. This information is displayed on both the
navigation screens and the radar screens of the Garmin MFDs.
AIS is a valuable tool to aid your situational awareness and help prevent collisions. Your
checkout skipper may demonstrate its use and the operating manual is onboard. Please DO NOT make
any changes to the AIS configuration.
Because our waters are sometimes very deep, the depth sounders will not display or will stay
on a high depth reading when the water's depth is beyond its capacity. Remember when
backing up, or crossing a "tide line", that turbulent water from the tides or boat's screws (or
those of another boat) can interrupt the sounding information received by the unit. Be careful!
Note that our Northwest waters are rocky and depths change rapidly. You should be especially
careful to study your charts, and then check them often whenever running in depths of 50 feet
or less, so that you don't hit a rock! Just as our islands "pop up" to heights of 50, 100, or even
thousands of feet in a very small horizontal distance, so do rocky obstacles!
