Boat Setup

When the LMF-400 powers up for the first time, the screen will show the Boat Setup menu. You will not be able to proceed without completing Boat Setup, which requires you to program into the unit the number of engines and gas tanks on your vessel. Boat Setup will only appear again if you reset Engine/Tank configuration, add certain EP sensors or if configuration is lost.

To complete Boat Setup:

1.With Boat Setup highlighted, press ENTER. A menu will appear, allowing you to choose the number of engines and fuel tanks on your vessel. The Boat Setup menu options are: 1 Eng/1 Tank, 1 Eng/2 Tank,

2Eng/1 Tank, 2 Eng/2 Tanks, 3 Eng/1 Tank or 3 Eng/3 Tanks.

2.Choose the option that applies to your vessel and press ENTER. After setting the engine/tank configuration, you will need to enter the size of each tank via the Set Tank Size menu. It will appear with up to three options, depending on the number of tanks you chose during Boat Setup. The options are: Port Tank, Stbd Tank and Cen Tank.

3.Select the tank you want to set up and press ENTER. That will launch the Setting Tank Size window. If you selected one tank during Boat Setup, you will be taken directly to the Setting Tank Size Window.
