Calibrating a Water Speed Device

If you have a speed-sensing transducer, you can calibrate that speed-sensing device.

2.Follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is not registering a speed, a “Speed too low” message appears. Select OK, and safely increase the boat speed. If the message appears again, stop the boat, and ensure that the speed-sensor wheel is not stuck. If the wheel turns freely, check the cable connections. If you continue to get the message, contact Garmin Product Support.
