Speed

Calibration may

be required because different hull shapes have different flow characteristics.

Obtain an accurate measurement of the boat's speed from a GPS receiver; or by following

another boat travelling at a known speed; or by making a timed run over a known distance.

Note: for accurate calibration:

•The speed from a GPS receiver should be greater than 5 knots.

•The speed from another paddlewheel transducer should be between 5 and 20 knots.

•Best results are achieved in calm conditions where there is minimal current (best at high or low tide).

Use the cursor keys to display the speed readout box, then increase or decrease the readout to match the independent speed value.
