Optional
Dynamic Positioning System Volvo Penta IPS Dynamic Positioning system (DPS) is a function that aids holding a selected position and compass heading by means of a GPS signal. The function is intended as an aid e.g. while waiting for a berth or for a bridge to open. From a legal standpoint, the boat is under way when the DPS is activated. The operator has the same responsibility regarding supervision and maneuvering as when making way through water. The helm station must remain attended. It is the operator's responsibility to inform passengers of the risks and make sure no persons or any other boat or object that can be affected by the operation of the DPS function are in the water near the boat. When DPS is active, precision is affected by wind, waves, current, and GPS signal strength. Keep away from swimmers or any other boat or object when DPS is active. The dynamic positioning system can be affected by strong electromagnetic signals as created by radar and radio transmitters. Maintain a safe distance, with a minimum of 2 boat lengths to any object. Show consideration! When the DPS is active, it gives rise to noise and heavy propeller wash that may annoy those around. You are responsible for the wake from your boat.
WARNING! Check that nobody is in the water before engaging DPS. Maintain a safe distance, with a minimum of two boat lengths to any object. Never use it in, or near, areas where people could be in the water. Personal injury could result from contact with propellers.
WARNING! With DPS active, the propellers are spinning to keep the boat in position, creating a slipstream. Keep away from people in the water. Personal injury could result from contact with propellers.
CAUTION! When DPS is in use, the boat may move unexpectedly. The operator should inform passengers of the possibility of abrupt movement and to hold on to prevent falls.
