The Keel Offset feature eliminates the need for the navigator to men-

tally calculate how much water is under his keel.
Keel Offset lets you calibrate the digital depth, chart depth scale, chart

cursor depth and fish symbol depth displayed on the screen. To calibrate

the depth indicators, first measure the distance from the face of the

transducer to the lowest part of the boat. In this example, we will use 3.5
feet. This will entered as a

negative

3.5 feet, which makes the depth indi-

cators perform as if the transducer's lower in the water than it really is.

. The depth indicators now accurately show the depth

of water beneath the keel.

NOTE:

If knowing the exact depth of water beneath the keel is less impor-

tant, you can calibrate the depth indicators so that they show the ac-

tual water depth from surface to bottom. To do this, first measure the

distance from the face of the transducer up to the surface (the water

line on the boat). In this example, we will use 1.5 feet. This will be en-
tered as a

positive

1.5 feet, which makes the depth indicators perform

as if the transducer's higher in the water than it really is.

Sensitivity & Auto Sensitivity

The sensitivity controls the ability of the unit to pick up echoes. Sensi-

tivity can be adjusted, because water conditions vary greatly. A low

sensitivity level (from zero to 50 percent) excludes much of the bottom

information, fish signals, and other target information.
