• Bring the boat up to cruising speed (above 5 knots), then
Select the SOG reference option
•
When the calibration is completed the Boat speed calibration scale
will show the adjusted percentage value of the boat speed.
Distance reference
Allows you to calibrate the log via a distance reference. You will
need to complete consecutive runs, under power at a constant
speed made along a given course and distance.
Ú Note:
The distance should be greater than 0.5 NM, ideally 1 NM.
To eliminate the effect of tidal conditions it is advisable to
perform at least two runs, preferably three, along the measured
course.
Referring to the diagram, A and B are the markers for each run. X is
the actual distance for each run.
• Enter the desired distance in nautical miles that you would like to
calculate the distance reference over
• When the boat gets to the predetermined starting position of the
distance reference calculation, start the calibration timer
As the boat passes marks A and B on each run, instruct the
•
system to start and stop and finally OK to end calibration.
Use SOG as boat speed
If boat speed is not available from a paddle wheel sensor, it is
possible to use speed over ground from a GPS. SOG will be
displayed as boat speed and used in the true wind calculations and
the speed log.
