Adjusting Sea Clutter on the Radar Screen Automatically
You can set the chartplotter to automatically adjust the
appearance of clutter caused by choppy sea conditions.
NOTE:
Depending upon the radar in use, the sea clutter setting
configured for use in one radar mode may or may not be applied
to other radar modes or to the radar overlay.
NOTE:
Not all options and settings are available on all radar and
chartplotter models.

Adjusting Sea Clutter on the Radar Screen Manually
You can adjust the appearance of clutter caused by choppy sea
conditions. The sea clutter setting affects the appearance of
nearby clutter and targets more than it affects the appearance of
distant clutter and targets. A higher sea clutter setting reduces
the appearance of clutter caused by nearby waves, but it can
also reduce or eliminate the appearance of nearby targets.
NOTE:
Depending upon the radar in use, the sea clutter setting
configured for use in one radar mode may or may not be applied
to other radar modes or to the radar overlay.

clutter and targets more than it affects the appearance of distant
rain clutter and targets. A higher rain clutter setting reduces the
appearance of clutter caused by nearby rain, but it can also
reduce or eliminate the appearance of nearby targets.

Depending upon the radar in use, the rain clutter settings
configured for use in one radar mode may or may not be applied

the radar scanner on a boat, if the radar scanner does not align
with the bow-stern axis.
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.
