Settings

Before setting keel offset, measure the distance from the transducer to the lowest

part of the keel. If, for example, the keel is 3.5 feet below the transducer, it will be

input as –3.5 feet.

To set Keel Offset:

1. Highlight the Keel Offset text box on the Installation menu and press

enTeR.

2. Use the keypad to enter the desired keel offset. Select OK and press

enTeR.

Water Speed Calibration

When there are differences in speed data, Water Speed

Calibration calibrates data from a paddlewheel with GPS

data. That ensures the accuracy of speed data from your

paddlewheel.

To calibrate Water Speed:

1. Select the Water Speed Calibration text box from the Installation

menu and press

enTeR. The Water Speed Calibration keypad will

appear.

2. Use the arrow keys to enter the percentage difference in speed

data. Select OK and press

enTeR.

NOTE: To input a keel offset that accounts for the distance

from the transducer to the water surface, you will enter a posi-

tive number. If the transducer is 1.5 feet below the waterline,

it will be input as +1.5 feet. That will give you a more precise

depth reading.

NOTE: If the paddlewheel is reading a slower speed than the

GPS unit, you will input a positive (+) percentage. Conversely,

a negative (–) percentage will be entered if the paddlewheel is

reading a faster speed than the GPS unit.
