Conguring My Boat
To congure settings for your boat from the Home screen, touch Congure > My Boat.
Auto Guidance—sets the Auto Guidance parameters for your boat:
Safe Depth—sets the minimum depth (chart depth datum) to allow when calculating an auto
guidance path. A safe depth of less than one meter is not allowed when using Auto Guidance.
Safe Height—sets the minimum height (chart height datum) of a bridge that your boat can safely
travel under.
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.
To adjust the Keel Offset:
1. From the Home screen, touch Congure > My Boat > Keel Offset.
2. Use the touch screen keyboard to specify the offset.
3. Touch Done to accept the number.
NOTE: Touch Cancel to cancel your changes and return to the My Boat screen.
