Compass
The compass is set by the manufacturer to ensure its accuracy. If in
doubt it can be zeroed in by using a nonmagnetic screwdriver and
turning the compensator screws as recommended. Refer to the compass
manual in the owner’s information pouch. Also, a compass can be
checked while underway for variance and deviation by comparing your
heading with a nautical chart. Compass error is part of the calculation.
Stern Light
The stern light is
stored under the
port aft cushion. It
must be used
betweeen dusk and
dawn. It is
controlled by the
navigation light
switch located at
the helm. Simply remove the light from the holders and install it in the
stern light receptacle located at the aft starboard area.

Hatch/Portlights
To open the 2750 hatch, turn the hold
down adjuster counterclockwise to un-
lock it. This permits the hatch to open
when the three latches are turned to clear
the hatch. Press the lock to the open po-
sition. Push the hatch to the desired open-
ing angle and then turn the hold down
adjuster clockwise to secure hatch. Make
sure the latches are completely closed to
prevent any possible leaks. Portlights
open and close using the same procedure.
