The speedometer also measures the water
pressure in the pitot tubes when power is
first turned on. This measurement is
subtracted from later readings to correct
for the pressure caused by the weight of
water over the pitot pick-up.
For maximum accuracy, the boat should
not be moving when the key is turned on,
especially in a re-start condition. If the
boat is moving, the pressure in the pitot
will be greater than normal, resulting in
the speedometer reading low.
Dual Pitot Operation
The system is designed to be operated with
two pitot pick-ups for speed sensing. The
speed displayed is based on the pitot with
the highest pressure. On the speedometer
LCD display, the active pitot sensor will be
identified by a “P” or “S”. It is normal to
see the display switch between the port
and starboard pitot sensors, especially in
high speed turns.
Both pitot sensors are continuously
monitored, and blockage in either sensor
will be detected. If a sensor becomes
blocked, the system will switch to the clear
pitot sensor. An “XX” will flash in place of
the “P” or “S” on the speedometer LCD to
indicate which sensor is blocked.
Clean the pitot sensor to restore normal
operation.
Depth Sounder
The depth sounder is turned on and off
with the ignition switch. The depth
sounder can also be turned off at any time,
while in depth display mode, by pressing
and holding the “mode M” button while
the depth sounder counts down a three
second delay.
The depth display will then indicate
“OFF”.
Press and hold the “mode M” button to
turn the depth sounder back on.
The LCD screen displays the depth
sounder data. When there are no alarm
conditions, the water depth is displayed. If
the signal is weak or lost, or there is no
transducer connected, then the display will
alternate between the last known depth
and three horizontal bars.
Canceling depth alarms
A depth alarm warning can be temporarily
canceled by pressing both “Up” and
“Down” buttons on the speedometer,
simultaneously. After one minute, the
Port Sensor - Starboard blocked
