Tanks

There are five selections for tanks: none, fuel, oil (two stroke only), water, gray, and black. Each tank can be default calibrated,
or can be calibrated by adding fluid to a specific level (1/4, 1/2, 3/4, full). Default calibration is normally used for regular shaped
tanks, water, gray or black water tanks. Calibrating by adding fuel is the most accurate when the vessel is in the water fully
loaded, or when a tank shape is irregular. All of the tanks must have the capacity manually entered in VesselView.
Tank Calibration – Default
1. Go to Settings > SmartCraft > Tanks.
2. Choose the tank to be calibrated: port or starboard, tank 1 or 2.
3. Select the type of tank – none, fuel, oil, water, gray, or black.
4. Enter the capacity. If the default calibration is desired, exit the menu. All tanks must have a capacity manually entered.
Tank Calibration – Advanced
1. Go to Settings > SmartCraft > Tanks.
2. Choose the tank to be calibrated: port or starboard, tank 1 or 2.
3. Select the type of tank – none, fuel, oil, water, gray, or black.
4. For an accurate displayed representation of the tank level, the vessel should be in the water with a normal load.
5. Select Calibration.
6. Use the arrow buttons to move the cursor to the capacity and enter the tank capacity. If the default calibration is desired,
exit the menu. All tanks must have a capacity manually entered.
