Boat speed

Speed calibration is necessary to compensate for hull shape and paddlewheel location
on your boat. For accurate speed and log readings, it is essential that the paddlewheel is
calibrated. Boat speed values can be shown in knots, kph or mph. Your preferred unit of
measurement can be set in the units page of the setup menu.
