Setting the Total Fuel Onboard Alarm
Note:

fuel reaches the level you specify.

Keel offset
—offsets the surface reading for the depth of a keel, making it possible to measure depth
from the bottom of the keel instead of from the transducer location. Enter a positive number to offset
for a keel. You can enter a negative number to compensate for a large vessel that may draw several
feet of water.
temp offset
—set the temperature offset for the temperature sensor of your transducer.
Calibrate Water Speed
—calibrates a speed-sensing device. Follow the on-screen directions for
calibration. If you do not have a speed-sensing transducer, this menu does not appear.
Note:
If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is not registering a speed, a “
Speed
too Low
”
message appears. Touch
oK
and safely increase boat speed. If you get the message again,
stop the boat and make sure the speed-sensor wheel is not stuck. If the wheel turns freely, check the
cable connections. If you continue to get the message, contact Garmin Product Support.
