DSM Setup

Certain conditions, such as a hard bottom or other vessels equipped with a fishfinder,
may affect the DSM. The following DSM Setup controls enable you to change settings
to allow for this. As they are held in the DSM, they are applied system-wide.

Any changes that you make to the set up are saved when you power off the digital
sounder module (DSM) except for the following:
