Chapter 6: Navigation & Communication Equipment
Read and understand the manuals for all navigation & communication equipment before using these systems for the
first time and observe the following:
VHF Radio (If Equipped)
• Your boat may include a VHF (Very High Frequency) radio.
• The VHF radio can be used to access weather reports, summon assistance or contact other vessels as permitted by
the FCC (Federal Communications Commission).
• 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 calculations. Keep a copy of the deviation card at each helm.
