Setting the Bow Offset
Based on the installation angle, the trolling motor may not
align with the center line of your boat. For the best results,
you should set the bow offset.
1 Adjust the angle of the trolling motor
with the center line of your boat
forward.
2 From the trolling motor bar, select
Bow Offset.
Digital Selective Calling
Networked Chartplotter and VHF Radio
Functionality
If you have a NMEA 0183 VHF radio or a NMEA 2000
VHF radio connected to your chartplotter, these features
are enabled.
• The chartplotter can transfer your GPS position to your
radio. If your radio is capable, GPS position information
is transmitted with DSC calls.
• The chartplotter can receive digital selective calling
(DSC) distress and position information from the radio.
• The chartplotter can track the positions of vessels
sending position reports.
If you have a Garmin NMEA 2000 VHF radio connected to
your chartplotter, these features are also enabled.
• The chartplotter allows you to quickly set up and send
individual routine call details to your Garmin VHF radio.
• When you initiate a man-overboard distress call from
your radio, the chartplotter shows the man-overboard
screen and prompts you to navigate to the man-
overboard point.
• When you initiate a man-overboard distress call from
your chartplotter, the radio shows the Distress Call
page to initiate a man-overboard distress call.

Man-Overboard Distress Calls Initiated from a VHF
Radio
When the chartplotter is connected to a compatible VHF
radio with NMEA 2000, and you initiate a man-overboard
DSC distress call from the radio, the chartplotter shows
the man-overboard screen and prompts you to navigate to
the man-overboard point. If you have a compatible
autopilot system connected to the network, the
chartplotter prompts you to start a Williamson's turn to the
man-overboard point.
If you cancel the man-overboard distress call on the radio,
the chartplotter screen prompting you to activate
navigation to the man-overboard location disappears.
Man-Overboard and SOS Distress Calls Initiated from
the Chartplotter
When your chartplotter is connected to a Garmin NMEA
2000 compatible radio and you mark an SOS or man-
overboard location, the radio shows the Distress Call
page so you can quickly initiate a distress call.
