Chapter 5: Navigation Equipment

Chapter 5: Navigation Equipment
Read the manuals for all navigation and communication equipment before using these systems.

Depth Finder (If Equipped)

· Do NOT use the depth finder as a navigational aid to prevent collision,
grounding, boat damage or personal injury.
· When your boat is moving, submerged objects will NOT be seen until they
are already under your boat.
· Bottom depths may change too quickly to allow time for your boat to react.
· If you suspect shallow water or submerged objects, run your boat at very
slow speeds.
Global Positioning System -GPS (If Equipped)
·
The GPS system should NOT be relied upon as the only aid to navigation.
· An experienced operator MUST monitor the GPS system at ALL times and
keep a look- out for other marine traffic and possible collision situations.
The GPS system is only an aid to navigation. It`s accuracy can be affected
by:
· Equipment failure or defects
· Environmental conditions
· Improper handling in use.
