and ST4000 Auto Pilot & GPS
All the Navigation instruments except the chartplotter are activated from the 12-Volt
electrical panel, using the Nav/Com switch #7. The Knot Meter, Depth Sounder, Apparent
Wind Indicator, GPS and Auto Pilot are then powered and activated. All of these
instruments are linked to share information, therefore providing you with accurate
information.
Holding down the buttons for several seconds at a time may cause the instruments to go into
reset and calibration modes. We ask that you not do this as these functions are complicated
and time consuming to reset. The instruments may also go into "Code Lock". If this occurs,
the instrument can be reset by entering four zeros. Again, please do not attempt to reset or
calibrate these instruments as you may lock the system. If you have any problems with the
instrument please contact your AYC fleet skipper.
The Depth Sounder will generally give measurements in several hundred feet of water. In
some instances thermal-climb (layers of water with dramatic temperature differences) may
confuse the instrument causing it to give improper readings.
Remember the primary rule when using any electronic navigation instrument "Your Nautical
charts should always be consulted for final authority on location depth and hazards."

Chart Plotter

The RayMarine C-80 Chartplotter has dedicated wiring and is not activated by Nav/Com
switch #7. However because they share data wiring, remember to turn on switch #7 before
turning on the C-80 or the chartplotter will back feed 12V to the other instruments causing
the autopilot to beep.
On the left side of the Chartplotter is the access door to the chart chip. This door needs to
remain snapped shut at all times to ensure water does not enter and cause damage. There
should be no need to remove this chip, in fact the C-80 needs to be powered down before
removing or the card can be damaged. Again, please do NOT open this door or remove the
card.
The Chartplotter is a wonderful tool for navigation and trip planning. There is so much
information available that a three binder containing all the information is found in the Nav
Station. Please feel free to consult this and have fun. But do remember the primary rule of
navigation, charts are the final authority !
PLEASE do not change the pre-set WAYPOINTS entered into the GPS. Additional
temporary waypoints may be created (see instruction booklet) if needed. In addition, the
MOB function can be used to set a temporary waypoint for the current boat position.
A secondary chartplotter is located on the wall at the Nav Station, Raytheon RL70. If the
other instruments are turned on it will repeat those instruments on its' screen. However the
