Navigational Equipment

Compass


A marine compass is optional on some boats. However,
a compass is invaluable in determining position and
course.

A qualified technician must adjust the compass for errors
caused by nearby iron, steel, magnets, or electric wires.

Since a compass seldom can be corrected to zero
deviation on all headings, the technician who services
your compass will give you a deviation card showing the
correction to be applied in navigational calculations.
Keep this card at the helm at all times.

Horn


A horn is considered an accessory, but is often included
as standard equipment. The horn button or switch is
usually on the dash panel.

Test the horn periodically to ensure proper operation.

Avoid spraying water directly into the horn.
Other

If the boat is equipped with navigational equipment,
such as Depth Sounder, Radar, Loran, or Global
Positioning System, the manufacturer of that equipment
will provide operation and maintenance information.

Communication Equipment


Communication equipment is optional but an important
safety feature.

VHF-FM is the primary short-range (32 kilometers [29
miles]) radio/telephone service.

Some areas may require a license to operate
radiotelephone equipment. Consult your marine dealer.

The radiotelephone manufacturer provides information
on its operation and maintenance.
Anchor
Anchors are available in different shapes, sizes and weights to
suit different boats, uses and conditions. Consult your marine
dealer.
