G. Power Trim Gauge
Boats equipped with stern drives also have a “power
trim gauge.” This gauge provides a visual indication
of the inward-outward (trim angle) position of the out-
drive. There is not a trailer travel mode on the gauge.
H. Depth Sounder
The depth sounder is available equipment on most
models.

sounder. Consult the manufacturer’s literature in-
cluded in the owner’s packet for the operation of both
depthsounderandshndingfeatures.
The depth sounder consists of two main components,
the transducer and the depth sounder. The transducer
is mounted to the hull and the depth sounder is in-
stalled in the dash. The transducer and depth sounder
communicate by means of a cable, and are powered
by your boat’s 12-volt DC battery. The transducer and
depth sounder use the basic principle of sonar
to indicate the water’s depth.
General description:
1 The depth sounder will display depth of 2-199ft,
1-92m, or 1-54F. To allow greater depths to
be displayed in the “ft” (Feet) mode, the depth
sounder will automatically change to “F” (Fathoms)
mode and continue to display depths to approxi-
mately 54 fathoms.
Operation:
1. Power on. The depth sounder will activate auto-
matically when the power to it is initially turned
on. You do not have to press the combination “ON
/OFF MODE” keypad. The LCD will illuminate
showing the depth and will also show the type of
units selected, feet (FT), meters (M), or fathoms
(F). To turn the depth sounder off, press and hold
the “ON / OFF MODE” keypad for 4 seconds.
Pressing the “ON / OFF MODE” keypad again
will reactivate the unit.
NOTE: The instrument is designed to have the
internal LED lighting remain on as long as power
is supplied even if the unit is turned “off” at the
keypad.
2 Depth alarm – Shallow mode: Pressing the
“ON / OFF MODE” keypad again displays the “SH”
shallow depth alarm setting. This is the shallowest
water that will activate the alarm. Press and hold
the up or down arrow keypads to adjust the read-
ing to the desired depth.
Depth alarm – Deep mode: Pressing the “ON /
OFF MODE” keypad again displays the “DP” deep
depth alarm setting. This is the deepest water that
will activate the alarm. Press and hold the “Up” or
‘Down” arrow keypads to adjust the reading to the
desired depth. When the shallow depth setting is
readbythedepthsounder,the“SH”willashon
the LCD and the audible alarm will sound rapidly.
When the deep depth setting is read by the depth
sounder,the“DP”willashontheLCDandthe
audible alarm will sound at 2 beeps per second.
NOTE: To fully deactivate an alarm, reset it to
zero. Pressing the “ON / OFF MODE” keypad
temporarily deactivates the alarm. To reactivate
the alarm press the “ON / OFF MODE” keypad
until the depth reading appears.
3. Keel offset. Pressing the “ON / OFF MODE”
keypad again displays the “KL” keel offset set-
ting. This can be set so that the depth sounder
either shows the depth below the keel or the depth
below the transducer. Press the up or down arrow
keypads to adjust the reading to the desired depth
no more than 19.9 ft. For example if the bottom
of the keel is 2 feet below the transducer and you
want the depth sounder to read the depth below
the keel, the display should be adjusted to read
2.0 FT.
NOTE: Once a keel offset is programmed, the
shallow and deep alarms will be activated by the
depth below the keel.
4. Units. pressing the “ O N / O F F MODE” keypad
again displays “Un” on the LCD indicating the units
mode. Press either the up or down arrow keypads
to set the units desired to feet (FT), meters (M),
or fathoms (F). These units once set, will remain
the same for all modes. Pressing the “ON / OFF
MODE” keypad again returns the depth sounder
to normal operation.
