Configuring My Boat

To configure settings for your boat - from the Home screen, select

Configure

> 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.
