Front-of-boat Offset
The front-of-boat offset compensates for the physical location of the radar scanner on a boat, if the radar
scanner does not align with the bow-stern axis.
Measuring the Potential Front-of-boat Offset
1. Using a magnetic compass, take an optical bearing of a stationary target located within viewable range.
2. Measure the target bearing on the radar.
3. If the bearing deviation is more than +/- 1°, set the front-of-boat offset.
Setting the Front-of-boat Offset
Before you can set the front-of-boat offset, you must measure the potential front-of-boat offset (see previous
procedure).
The front-of-boat offset setting congured for use in one radar mode is applied to every other radar mode and
to the Radar Overlay.
