Keel offset—offsets the surface reading for the depth of a keel, making it possible to measure depth 

from the bottom of the keel instead of from the transducer location. Enter a positive number to offset 

for a keel. You can enter a negative number to compensate for a large vessel that may draw several 

feet of water.
temp offset—set the temperature offset for the temperature sensor of your transducer.
Calibrate Water Speed—calibrates a speed-sensing device. Follow the on-screen directions for 

calibration. If you do not have a speed-sensing transducer, this menu does not appear.

  Note: If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is not registering a speed, a “Speed 

too Low” message appears. Touch 

 and safely increase boat speed. If you get the message again, 

stop the boat and make sure the speed-sensor wheel is not stuck. If the wheel turns freely, check the 

cable connections. If you continue to get the message, contact Garmin Product Support.
