4. You are asked to select the calibration method to use for this particular tank. Press the
check button to select the "DEFAULT" method.

5. Repeat steps iii and iv for each tank.
6. Once all tanks have been calibrated (identified as blue text), end the calibration process
by selecting the
X
button.
NOTE: Upon completing any change/customization to VesselView a blue pop‑up message
will appear as a reminder to save your session. Refer to
Section 1 - Saving Settings
. To
save time, it is recommended that all session changes be saved before holding
X
button
while keying ALL engines off.
TANK CALIBRATION USING MANUAL METHOD
The level sensor in the tank changes resistance values as the float rises and falls with the
volume level in the tank. A normal level sensor would have a resistance reading between
33–240 Ohms. A resistance value of approximately 33 Ohms represents a full tank. A
resistance value of approximately 240 Ohms represents an empty tank. VesselView allows
for sender calibration to correct for sensors that are slightly outside this range.
The senders used in irregularly shaped tanks need to be calibrated to the tank as substance
is added in the "FILL TANK" method, however, if it was calibrated using the "FILL TANK"
method when the vessel was on the trailer or when the vessel was rocking in the water,
the tank level will be different than when the vessel is resting in calm water so the calibration
needs to be refined.
Changing the actual % value calibrates the tank level indicator to the tank level sensor. To
compensate for known errors in the tank indicating system, select the quantity (0%, 25%,
50%, 100%) and adjust the actual % value to match the current actual % for a known
number of calculated gallons. For example, if the calculated gallons equals 60 and that
truly represents 50% of the tank size in gallons (120 gallon tank), the tank level sensor
might show 70% or any other number other than 50% current actual. Select the 50% actual
field and press the left or right arrow on the arrow trackpad until the actual reads the same
as current actual, now the tank level indicator will indicate 50% when the calculated gallons
equals 60 gallons.
NOTE: To assist in manually calibrating the tanks, reference tables have been provided in
