H5000 Operation Manual

Use SOG as boat speed

If boat speed is not available from a paddle wheel sensor it is possible to use speed over 
ground from a GPS. SOG will be used in the true wind calculations.

Dual boat speed calibration

When using dual boat speed sensors (port & starboard) calibrate each sensor individually by 
selecting Port or Starboard boat speed from the calibration menu.

 

¼

Note: 

To enable dual sensors, see Dual sensor support / Measured sources for more 

information.

Note: 

These options can be set via the H5000 Calibration menu on a compatible B&G Multi 

Function Display (MFD)

Heel correction

Edit the heel correction table to improve the accuracy of boat speed data when the boat is 
heeled over.
