Sea temperature

If a suitable temperature sensor is fitted, the system will monitor the 

sea temperature. 

The offset value to be entered should adjust the temperature 

reading from the sensor to match a calibrated thermometer when 

submersed in the water 

Boat speed

Speed calibration is necessary to compensate for hull shape and 

paddlewheel location on your boat. For accurate speed and log 

readings, it is essential that the paddlewheel is calibrated. Boat 

speed values can be shown in knots, kph or mph. Your preferred 

unit of measurement can be set in the units page of the setup 

menu. 

Auto - Calibration via reference to GPS SOG value

This is an AutoCal facility that uses speed over ground (SOG) from 

your GPS and compares the average of SOG against the average 

boat speed from the speed sensor for the duration of the calibration 

run.

Note: 

This calibration should be made in calm sea with no effect 

from wind or tidal current.
