1. Measure the keel offset, 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 step 3 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 step 3 as a negative number.

2. From the Home screen, select  > 

 > .

3. Enter the keel offset measured in step 1:

• For the GPSMAP 6000 series, use the  or the  to enter the distance measured

in step 1. Ensure that you enter a positive or a negative number based on the location of the transducer.

• For the GPSMAP 7000 series, use the on-screen keyboard to enter the distance measured in step 1.

Ensure that you enter a positive or a negative number based on the location of the transducer.

4. Select .

Setting the Water Temperature Offset

You must have a water-temperature sensor or a temperature-capable transducer.

The temperature offset compensates for the temperature reading from a temperature sensor.

1. Measure the water temperature using the temperature sensor or temperature-capable transducer that is

connected to the chartplotter.

2. Measure the water temperature using a different temperature sensor or thermometer that is known to be

accurate.

3. 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.

4. From the Home screen, select  >  > .

5. Enter the temperature offset calculated in step 3:

• For the GPSMAP 6000 series, use the  or the  to enter the temperature offset.

• For the GPSMAP 7000 series, use the on-screen keyboard to enter the temperature offset.

6. Select .

Adjusting the Transducer Settings

: These features are available only on the GSD 24 and GSD 26.

1. From the Home screen, select .

2. Select a sonar view.

3. Select  >  > 

4. Select one or more options:

• Select  to help reduce self-interference. You can increase the transmit rate to speed up

the scroll speed, but this might also create self-interference.

• Select to reduce transducer ringing near the surface. Lower the Transmit Power to

reduce the ringing.

• Select to dene the edges of the target. A shorter lter will dene the edges of the targets.

Longer lters will create softer target edges, but may reduce noise.

• Select  to view details of the transducer.
