Navigation and Interior Lights

We strongly recommend that you understand navigation light usage by reading the navigation section of the Owner’s

Manual. The navigation and interior lights supplied with your boat are of top quality, but you should be aware that

failure may periodically occur for a variety of reasons:

1. There may be a blown fuse (Replace the fuse in the switch panel).

2. The bulb may be burned out (Carry spare bulbs for replacement).

3. The bulb base may be corroded (Clean the base periodically and coat it with non-conductive grease).

4. A wire may have come loose or may be damaged (Repair as required).

Compass

Your boat may come equipped with a compass. Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s calibration and operat-

ing instructions provided in the boat’s owner’s packet.

Depth Finder

Your boat may come equipped with a depth finder. It will provide you with measurements of water depth beneath the

boat. In many cases it may help you locate schools of fish. We suggest that you read the manufacturer’s owner’s

operating instructions included in the boat’s owner’s packet before using the unit.

CAUTION

• Avoid the storage of gear where it would block navigation lights from view.

• Prolonged operation of cabin interior lights (overnight) will result in a drained battery. Be

conservative in the use of battery power.

DO NOT use the depth finder as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat dam-

age 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.
