TIP: You can also use the polar table data when
calculating laylines and starting line guidance.

Setting the Keel Offset

You can enter a keel offset to compensate the water
depth reading for the transducer installation location. This
allows you to view the depth of the water below the keel or
the true depth of the water, depending on your needs.
If you want to know the water depth below the keel or the
lowest point of your boat and the transducer is installed
at the water line or anywhere above the end of the keel,
measure the distance from the transducer location to the
keel of the boat.
If you want to know the true water depth and the
transducer is installed below the water line, measure the
distance from the bottom of the transducer up to the water
line.
NOTE: This option is only available when you have valid
depth data.
1 Measure the distance:
• If the transducer is installed at the water line
anywhere above the end of the keel, measure the
distance from the transducer location to the keel of
the boat. Enter this value as a positive number.
• If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the
keel and you want to know the true depth of
the water, measure the distance from the transducer
to the water line. Enter this value in as a negative
number.
2 Complete an action:
• If the transducer is connected to the chartplotter or
a sonar module, select Options > Settings > My
Vessel > Depth and Anchoring > Keel Offset.
• If the transducer is connected to the NMEA
2000 network, select Options > Settings >
Communications > NMEA 2000 Setup > Device
List, select the transducer, and select Review >
Keel Offset.
3 Select if the transducer is installed at the water line,
or select if the transducer is installed at the bottom
of the keel.
4 Enter the distance measured in step 1.

Heading Line and Angle Markers

The heading line is an extension drawn on the map from
the bow of the boat in the direction of travel. Angle
markers indicate relative position from the heading or
course over ground, which are helpful for casting or
finding reference points.

Setting the Heading Line and Angle Markers

The heading line is an extension drawn on the map from
the bow of the boat in the direction of travel. Angle
markers indicate relative position from the heading or
course over ground, which are helpful for casting or
finding reference points.
You can show the heading line and the course over
ground (COG) line on the chart.
COG is your direction of movement. Heading is the
direction the bow of the boat is pointed, when a heading
sensor is connected.
1 From a chart, select Options > Layers > My Vessel >
Heading Line > Angle Markers.
2 If necessary, select Source, and select an option:
• To automatically use the available source, select
Auto.
• To use the GPS antenna heading for COG, select
GPS Heading (COG).
• To use data from a connected heading sensor,
select Heading.
or
• To use data from both a connected heading sensor
and the GPS antenna, select COG and Heading.
This displays both the heading line and the COG
line on the chart.
3 Select Display, and select an option:
• Select Distance > Distance, and enter the length of
the line shown on the chart.
• Select Time > Time, and enter the time used to
calculate the distance your boat will travel in the
specified time at your present speed.
Water Sport Controls
You are responsible for appropriate weight distribution on
and in the vessel at all times, particularly when engaged in
water sports. Inappropriate weight distribution could create
instability and could lead to vessel damage or personal
injury.
When your chartplotter is connected to a compatible Volvo
Penta engine that supports the water sports feature, a
Water Sports layout is available as a SmartMode layout.
You can adjust the value of each feature from the Water
Sports layout.
To open the Water Sports layout, select SmartMode™ >
Water Sports.
TIP: Select or
From the Water Sports layout, you can set the RPM or
speed, trim tabs, power trim, and ballast tanks. When you
have the items set to your desired settings, you can hold a
user preset button to save the current settings.
NOTE: When the chartplotter is connected to a compatible
Volvo Penta engine that supports the water sports feature,
you cannot control the chartplotter with the ActiveCaptain
app on a mobile device.
