After your compass has been professionally
adjusted. You will be given a deviation card or
chart indicating the correction to be applied when
laying out a compass course or making navigational
calculations. Keep this correction card or chart
at the helm.
NOTE: The compass adjustment is only good for
the equipment arrangement that existed at the time
of the adjustment. If you place different equipment
or remove equipment from the vicinity of the
compass, you cannot rely on the compass reading.
The compass must be readjusted by a qualifi ed
person after equipment is added or removed from
the vicinity of the compass.
NOTE: The compass roses shown on navigational
charts have both true north and magnetic north
directions superimposed. Make certain you plot
course compass directions from the magnetic north
compass rose.
When not in use, the compass should be protected
from excessive and prolonged sunlight. If your
compass becomes sluggish or erratic, it should be
serviced by an authorized repair station.
To keep the Plexiglas dome free from scratches,
remove salt deposits and dust with a damp cloth.

preserve the dome surface.

AVIGATION AND
Navigation lights (Fig. 2.15.1) MUST be on while
underway from sunset to sunrise or in conditions of
reduced visibility. "Underway" means the boat is not
docked or at anchor. Trolling or drifting with engine
off is considered "underway" and navigation lights
must be used.
If you are anchored in open water, i.e. where other
boats can approach yours, you must display your
anchor light (Fig. 2.15.1): a white light that can be
seen from all possible directions, i.e. 360 degrees.
