NMEA 2000 Checklist
Intelliducer (Intelligent Depth Transducer–Transom Mount and Thru-Hull)
Setting the Keel Offset
Adjust the  to display a depth reading from the water line or from the lowest point of the boat (keel) rather than the actual location
of the Intelliducer.
To adjust the keel offset:
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device conguration menu, select a specic Intelliducer and select Cong > Keel Offset.
2. Enter the measured distance from the Intelliducer location to the water line or to the keel of the boat.
• If you are measuring down to the keel (Intelliducer installed at the water line), enter a (+) positive number.
• If you are measuring up to the water line (Intelliducer installed on the keel), enter a (-) negative number.
Keel Offset
Enter a (+) positive number
to show depth at the
bottom of the keel.
Intelliducer at the water line
Enter a (-) negative
number to show depth at
the surface.

GWS 10 (Garmin Wind Sensor)
Conguring the Wind Angle Offset (Orientation)
When mounting the sensor, you must adjust the angle offset if you did not orient the GWS 10 as described in the GWS 10 Installation
Instructions.
To congure the wind angle offset (orientation):
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device information, select Cong > Wind Angle Offset.
2. Select the angle in degrees to adjust for the difference in orientation.
The angles are congured clockwise around the mast of the boat. For example, 90 degrees is on the starboard side of the boat, and 270 degrees is
on the port side.
Conguring the Wind Speed Filter
The wind speed lter governs how quickly the NMEA 2000-compatible display device shows a change in the wind speed. A lower lter setting
shows changes in the wind speed more gradually, and may stabilize the display.
To congure the wind speed lter:
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device information, select Cong > Wind Speed Filter.
2. Choose from the following options to adjust the lter settings.
• Off—the wind speed data is not ltered.
• On—select a lower number to show a change in the wind speed more gradually, and help the gauge needle or wind speed number to
move or change more steadily.
• Auto—automatically adjusts the lter settings based on wind conditions.
