1.16 How to Set Draught
Draught is the calculated distance from the keel to the water surface. Draught can be set in two
locations, [FORE] and [AFT], if your vessel has transducers at both of these locations. If your ves-
sel only has one transducer, the draught is set at the transducer
location only.
To set the draught for your vessel, do the following:
1. Press the MENU/ESC key to open the Main menu.
2. Select [Sounder] using  or , the press the ENT key.
3. Select the appropriate transceiver to set ([FE-8020 No.1]
or [FE-8020 No.2]), then press the ENT key.
4. Select [Draught], then press the ENT key. This will open a
pop-up window.
5. If using a single transducer configuration, skip to step 8.
For dual transducer configuration go to the next step.
6. Select [AFT] using  or .
7. Choose the draught depth using  or , then press the ENT to select [FORE].
8. Adjust [FORE] draught using  or , then press the ENT key to apply the settings and close
the pop-up window. Available range differs according to the setting of keel in [Service Menu].
When the setting of keel is set as 0.0 m, the available range is 0.0 m to 30.0 m. When the
setting of keel is set as 10.0 m, the available range is 10.0 m to 40.0 m.
9. Press the MENU/ESC key three times to close the menu.

When [EXT Setting] in the [System] menu is set to [ON], the draft value is taken from external
equipment. When [EXT Setting] is set to [OFF], the draught value is as set in the above procedure.
The FORE/AFT bar is absent in
