To program the depth settings on a Navman Fish 4430 fish finder:
1. Auto or Manual Range: Ensure the fishfinder is set to Auto Range so it can automatically detect depth. If Manual Range is selected, make sure the depth is within the selected range. Otherwise, change to another depth range.
2. Keel Offset Adjustment: You can adjust the depth reading to account for the keel by entering a negative value (to measure from below the transducer) or a positive value (to measure from above, such as the water surface).
3. Accessing Settings: Use the appropriate menu options (see section 3-8 for range and 4-7 for keel offset) to change these settings.
These steps allow accurate programming of depth measurement based on your boat’s configuration.
