Chapter 5: Navigation Equipment

Read the manuals for all navigation & communication equipment before using these systems.

Compass

• Compass accuracy can be affected by many factors.
• Have a trained 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 the helm.

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.
