1. Upon entering the "SENSORS" screen, the "PITOT SENSOR" field will be highlighted
in blue.
2. Press the left or right arrow on the arrow trackpad to select between "100 PSI" and
"200 PSI".
NOTE: The standard speed input on Mercury production engines is 100 PSI. Certain high
performance applications may require a 200 PSI input.
3. Press the down arrow on the arrow trackpad to proceed to "PITOT MULT" field.
4. The pitot multiplier will use 1.00 as a default setting and can be increased or decreased
to correct speed display readings that read too high or too low. For a low speed reading,
increase the pitot multiplier by pressing the right arrow on the arrow trackpad. For a
high speed reading, decrease the pitot multiplier by pressing the left arrow on the arrow
trackpad.
5. Press the down arrow on the arrow trackpad to proceed to the "PADDLE FREQ" field.
6. Frequency can be changed to match the requirements of different sensors. The
frequency of the paddle wheel speed sensor provided by Mercury Marine is 4.9 Hz per
mile or 5.7 HZ per knot. Press the left or right arrow on the arrow trackpad to decrease
or increase the frequency.
7. Press the down arrow on the arrow trackpad to proceed to the "TRANSITION SPD"
field.
8. Transition speed is the vessel speed at which VesselView stops looking at the paddle
wheel and starts looking at the pitot or GPS, if so equipped. The default setting is 25.0
MPH and can be set as low as 3.1 MPH. Press the left or right arrow on the arrow
trackpad to decrease or increase the transition speed.
