Tow Model Window
The Tow Model window is where you can construct a to-scale digital tow
configuration that matches your actual tow configuration. The adjustable boat model
option allows you to completely customize the Jeppesen Workboat Navigator on-
screen boat graphic to your specific needs, and to use that configuration as a
template for future configurations.
Layout is shown using rectangular representations of barges. As you adjust the
barge layout, you also increase the precision with which Jeppesen Workboat
Navigator can provide you tow-specific information.
NOTE:
The more accurate your tow data, the better Jeppesen Workboat
Navigator navigation features will help you maneuver your boat and tow in
any condition.
Model Name. Input a customized name for the current tow configuration. The
maximum is 64 characters.
Add to Model. Click this button to add the selected barge to the Model you are
currently editing.
Tow Model Graphic Group. 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.
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 made your adjustments, 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.
