Important Notice:
• It is the owner's sole responsibility to install and use the instrument and transducer(s) in a
manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this
product is solely responsible for observing safe boating practices.
• It is vital to the performance of the G-PILOT that the transducers are installed in the best
location. Please follow the installation instructions very carefully.
• The choice, location, and installation of all components in any G-PILOT system is critical. If
installation is not correct, the unit can not perform at its designed potential. If in doubt, consult
your Navman dealer.
• Ensure that any holes that are cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat's structure.
• If in doubt, consult a qualified boat builder.
Using the G-PILOT 3380:
• The G-PILOT 3380 is intended to aid a helmsman from having to steer for long periods of time,
not as the main means of steering the boat.
• The G-PILOT 3380 is not intended for use in extreme weather, in adverse conditions or in water
near other boats, dangerous waters or land.
• The G-PILOT 3380 can not control the boat better than a helmsman. In adverse conditions steer
the boat manually.
• Never leave the helm unattended. Keep a watch at all times. The helmsman should always
monitor the course of the boat and the G-PILOT 3380 and be ready to resume steering the boat
manually.
• The performance of the G-PILOT 3380 can be affected by the failure of a part, environmental
conditions, improper installation and use.
Note: The User is to be aware that when the G-PILOT is powered on, the Control Dial and Dodge
keys are active and can operate the rudder at any time (see Power Steering modes 1-1-3)
