Keel Offset Transducer--select the transducer type (Dual Frequency or Dual beam), set the temperature source, sonar cone angles, and calibrate water speed. · Temp Source--set the temperature source (Transducer or NMEA). · Sonar Cone Angles--when using a transducer other than the standard Garmin transducer, you can set the angle, in degrees, of the sonar cone so it is accurately depicted on the Fish Eye 3D screen. NOTE: The Sonar Cone Angles setting does not affect a standard Garmin transducer, and should only be used to match thespecificationsofanon-standardtransducer.
