Operating instructions

4H4: Electronics: GPS Receivers
Dream Catcher has two Furuno GPS receivers, one at each
helm. See the manuals for operating details.
4H5: Electronics: Hailer
The boat is equipped with a loudhailer at the flybridge for
communicating with the shore. It also can be used to talk from
the helm to the flybridge. It operates conventionally, but is
seldom used. It also has foghorn and bell modes for lying at
anchor or operating in fog. This manual is stored on the laptop:
“Documents|LH-10 Loudhaler”.
4H6: Electronics: Plotters/Electronic Charting Systems
Computer System:
The boat is equipped with
Coastal Explorer plotting software
which runs on a laptop computer at
the lower helm. It will always make
your location easily identifiable.
The software runs in Microsoft
Windows. When turned “on”, the
computer will “boot”. After it boots,
double-click the icon to start the
navigation program.
Furuno NavNet System:
At both helms, the boat’s
Furuno NavNet System allows map display and course plotting. This modern system will
make your trip easier. See the manuals for full details.
THESE ELECTRONIC CHARTING SYSTEMS ARE NOT SUBSTITUTES FOR
CAREFUL STUDY OF TRADITIONAL PAPER CHARTS. You are required by
maritime law to use your paper charts for navigation information, since
electronic chart technology does not always permit full cartographic
details to show. The Electronic charts are for convenience only!
If you are not completely familiar with the Coastal Explorer System, please
operate the system with care, reading the manual before you make any
changes to any settings! Thank you.
