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.

Select Settings > My Vessel > Keel Offset.

Select or based on the location of the transducer.

Enter the distance measured in step 1.

Setting the Water Temperature Offset

Before you can set the water temperature offset, you must have

a NMEA 0183 water-temperature sensor or a temperature-

capable transducer to measure water temperature.

The temperature offset compensates for the temperature

reading from a temperature sensor.

Measure the water temperature using the temperature sensor

or temperature-capable transducer that is connected to the

chartplotter.

Measure the water temperature using a different temperature

sensor or a thermometer that is known to be accurate.

Subtract the water temperature measured in step 1 from the

water temperature measured in step 2.

This is the temperature offset. Enter this value in step 5 as a

positive number if the sensor connected to the chartplotter

measures the water temperature as being colder than it

actually is. Enter this value in step 5 as a negative number if

the sensor connected to the chartplotter measures the water

temperature as being warmer than it actually is.

Select Settings > My Vessel > Temp. Offset.

Enter the temperature offset calculated in step 3.

Calibrating a Water Speed Device

If you have a speed-sensing transducer connected to the

chartplotter, you can calibrate that speed-sensing device to

improve the accuracy of water-speed data displayed by the

chartplotter.

Select Settings > My Vessel > Calibrate Water Speed.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is

not registering a speed, a message appears.

Select OK, and safely increase the boat speed.

If the message appears again, stop the boat, and ensure 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.

Setting the Fuel Capacity of the Vessel

Select Settings > My Vessel > Fuel Capacity.

Enter the combined total capacity of the fuel tanks.

Synchronizing the Fuel Data with the Actual Vessel

Fuel

You can synchronize the fuel levels in the chartplotter with the

actual fuel in the vessel when you add fuel to your vessel.

Select Gauges > Engine > MENU.

Select an option:

• After you have filled up all the fuel tanks on the vessel,

select Fill Up All Tanks. The fuel level is reset to

maximum capacity.

• After you have added less than a full tank of fuel, select

Add Fuel to Boat, and enter the amount added.

• To specify the total fuel in the vessel tanks, select Set

Total Fuel Onboard, and enter the total amount of fuel in

the tanks.

Customizing Engine Gauge and Fuel Gauge Limits

You can configure the upper and lower limits and the range of

desired standard operation of a gauge. When a value exceeds

the range of standard operation, the gauge becomes red.

NOTE: Not all options are available for all gauges.

Select a gauge.

Select Gauge Limits > Custom > Edit Limits.

Select an option:

• To set the minimum value of the standard operating

range, select Rated Min..

• To set the maximum value of the standard operating

range, select Rated Max..

• To set the lower limit of the gauge lower than the rated

minimum, select Scale Min..

• To set the upper limit of the gauge higher than the rated

maximum, select Scale Max..

Select the limit value.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 to set additional gauge limits.

Communications Settings

NOTE: Some settings and options require additional charts or

hardware.

Select Settings > Communications.

Serial Port 1: Sets the input/output format for the serial port to

use when connecting the chartplotter to external NMEA

devices, computers, or other Garmin devices.

NMEA 0183 Setup: Sets the NMEA 0183 sentences the

chartplotter transmits, how many digits to the right of the

decimal point are transmitted in a NMEA output, and how

waypoints are identified (NMEA 0183 Settings, page 31).

NMEA 2000 Setup: Allows you to view and label the devices on

the NMEA 2000 network (NMEA 2000 Settings, page 31).

Marine Network: Allows you to view the devices with which you

are sharing maps, sonar, or radar. Not available on all

chartplotter models.
