Safety notices

WARNING: Product installation

This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this handbook. Failure to do so could result in poor product performance, personal injury and/or damage to your boat.

WARNING: Electrical safety

Make sure the power supply is switched off before you make any electrical connections.

WARNING: Navigation aid

Although we have designed this product to be accurate and reliable, many factors can affect its performance. As a result, it should only be used as an aid to navigation and should never replace common sense and navigational judgement. Always maintain a permanent watch so you can respond to situations as they develop.

Your Raymarine autopilot will add a new dimension to your boating enjoyment. However, it is the skipper’s responsibility to ensure the safety of the boat at all times by following these basic rules:

Ensure that someone is present at the helm AT ALL TIMES, to take manual control in an emergency.

Make sure that all crew members know how to disengage the autopilot.

Regularly check for other boats and any obstacles to navigation – no matter how clear the sea may appear, a dangerous situation can develop rapidly.

Maintain an accurate record of the boat’s position by using either a navigation aid or visual bearings.

Maintain a continuous plot of your boat’s position on a current chart. Ensure that the locked autopilot heading will steer the boat clear of all obstacles. Make proper allowance for tidal set – the autopilot cannot.

Even when your autopilot is locked onto the desired track using a navigation aid, always maintain a log and make regular positional plots. Navigation signals can produce significant errors under some circumstances and the autopilot will not be able to detect these errors.
