Before setting keel offset, measure the distance from the transducer to the lowest
part of the keel. If, for example, the keel is 3.5 feet below the transducer, it will be

NOTE:
To input a keel offset that accounts for the distance
from the transducer to the water surface, you will enter a posi-
tive number. If the transducer is 1.5 feet below the waterline,
it will be input as +1.5 feet. That will give you a more precise
depth reading.

NOTE:
If the paddlewheel is reading a slower speed than the
GPS unit, you will input a positive (+) percentage. Conversely,
a negative (–) percentage will be entered if the paddlewheel is
reading a faster speed than the GPS unit.
