making it possible to measure depth from the bottom of the

keel instead of from the transducer location (Setting the Keel

Offset).

Temp. Offset: Compensates for the water temperature reading

from a NMEA 0183 water-temperature sensor or a

temperature-capable transducer (Setting the Water

Temperature Offset).

Vessel Type: Enables some chartplotter features based on the

boat type.

Setting the Keel Offset

You can enter a keel offset to compensate 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.

Complete an action, based on the location of the transducer:

• If the transducer is installed at the water line

, measure

the distance from the transducer location to the keel of the

boat. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a positive

number.

• If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel

measure the distance from the transducer to the water

line. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a negative

number.
