Set remaining
Before doing a partial refill of the tank or
removing fuel manually from the tank (for
example, by siphoning it off):
1. Note the Remaining reading on the
Fuel display.
2. Note how much fuel is added or removed.
3. Calculate how much fuel is now in the tank.
4. Select Set remaining and update
the reading.
It is essential to do this whenever some fuel is
added or removed. Otherwise, the reading on
the Fuel display (see section 5-6 Fuel Display)
and the Low Fuel Alarm (see section 3-5 Setup >
Alarms) are meaningless.
Clear used
Select Clear used to set Used (the
amount of fuel used) to zero. Do this to start
measuring the amount of fuel used over a certain
time or distance.
When asked Are you sure? select Yes.
Tank size
Enter the capacity of the fuel tank.

Flow filter
Most engines do not draw fuel from the tank at a
steady rate. To give a stable fuel flow reading, the
fishfinder calculates the flow value(s) by taking
several measurements and averaging them. Use
the Flow filter to set the period over which the
fuel flow is averaged.
The Flow filter can be set from 0 to 30 seconds.
Use the lowest value which gives a stable flow.
Usually a value of 5 to 10 seconds will give a
satisfactory result for two-stroke carburettor
engines. Fuel injected or four-stroke engines may
require a larger value.
This setting affects the Fuel flow and Fuel
economy reading on the Fuel display (see
section 5-6 Fuel display) but it does not affect the
Fuel used reading.
Speed Source
Select speed input from water speed transducer
or external GPS source (an external GPS source
must be connected to the Fishfinder via NavBus
– see section 3-7 Setup > Comms.)
Num engines
Set the number of engines to 0, 1 or 2. If 0 is
selected the fuel features are turned off.
Calibrate
See section 3-8 Setup > Calibrate, for information
about calibrating the fuel transducer(s).
The values can be changed independently of
each other. These log values are saved when the
unit is turned off.
Reset trip dist
This resets the trip distance to zero.
Reset total dist
This option resets the total distance to zero.
Reset engine hours
Use this option to reset the engine hours
to zero. This can be useful after an engine service
or to count the engine hours between service
intervals.
