The owner's packet contains operation manuals for all nav-
igation & communication equipment installed on your boat.
Thoroughly read and understand these manuals before
using these systems. Additionally, read the following warn-
ings carefully and follow all safety instructions.

VHF Radio

The VHF (Very High Frequency) radio can be used to
access weather reports, summon assistance or contact other
vessels as permitted by the FCC (Federal Communications
Commission). Be sure to contact the FCC for licensing,
rules and regulations concerning VHF radio usage.

Compass

Compass accuracy can be affected by many factors. Have a qualified technician calibrate your compass. Make
sure the technician gives you a deviation card which shows the corrections to apply in navigational calcula-
tions. Keep a copy of the deviation card at the helm.

Depth Sounder

• Do not use the depth finder as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage or personal
injury.
• When the boat is moving, submerged objects will not be seen until they are already under the boat. Bottom
depths may change too quickly to allow time for the boat operator to react. If you suspect shallow water or
submerged objects, operate the boat at very slow speeds.
Audio & Visual Equipment
All audio and visual equipment installed on your boat have separate instruction sheets or manuals that explain their
operating procedures in detail.
AM radio reception may be impaired anytime the engines are running.
