timing the boat over a known distance. Water speed calibration should be performed with as
little wind and current movement as possible.

Manual calculation. If in average the water speed reads 8.5 knots and SOG records 10 knots.
Increase the offset to 117%. The calculation is:

Paddle wheel speed
If water speed is lower than SOG then increase the calibration value.
