General Boat Properties Information
The Boat Properties window (System Menu | Boat Properties) is where you set
up the tow displayed on-screen to mimic exactly your current tow configuration.
When you open this window, the existing or default settings appear.
Boat Model Panel
The Boat Model panel is where you select the type of Boat you are using.
Click New Model to open an empty Tow Model window. Use the Tow Model window
to configure or re-configure the Tow layout to current specifications.
Tow Model Window
The Tow Model window is used to set up tow configuration. Use this feature to
create a tow model that exactly matches the tow configuration in use. The more
accurate your tow data, the better Jeppesen Workboat Navigator features will help
you maneuver your boat and tow in any condition.
The Tow Model graphic is a to-scale illustration of the way your tow is configured in
Jeppesen Workboat Navigator. This graphic is updated as you make changes to the
configuration.
Layout is shown using rectangular barge graphics. As you adjust the barge layout,
you also increase the precision with which Jeppesen Workboat Navigator can
provide you tow-specific information.
Barge List
The Barge List contains all current barge types available to add to your tow
configuration. Tow configuration is divided into "strings". Strings are numbered
sequentially from Port to Starboard.
Incremental adjustments to each Barge can be made by highlighting an existing
Barge and using the Adjust Forward, Aft, Port and Starboard feet and inches and
radio buttons to the left of the graphic.
Once you have set up your Barge List, use the Refresh button to redraw the
Tow Model Graphic and verify that your changes have been incorporated.
To remove a Barge, click on the Barge and then click Remove Selected.
To clear the screen and start again, click Remove All. •
