Northstar Explorer 657 Installation and Operation Manual

Keel Offset

A depth transducer measures depths below
where the transducer is mounted on the boat,
usually the bottom of the boat. The 657 calculates
the depths to display by adding the keel offset to
all measured depths.

A Have a zero keel offset to display depths

below the transducer.

B Enter a positive keel offset to increase the

displayed depth. For example to display the
total depths below the surface, enter the
depth of the transducer below the surface.

C Enter a negative keel offset to decrease the

displayed depth. For example, to display the
depths of clear water below the boat, enter
minus the depth of the deepest part of the
boat below the transducer.

Speed range

boat speed gauge (see section 10). Choose a
range suitable for your boat.
