I am considering transferring my Garmin Echo UHD93sv from this 8ft boat to another larger boat. Will I have to recalibrate the compass after I do so???

Just me but I recalibrate mine about once a month. The Minn Kota Terrova too. Just for accuracy.

NO I`m speaking of the LS Compass Calibration setting under the "Sonar Setup" menu on the Garmin UHD unit. That little direction Indicator that shows up on the screen to show where you are aiming your LS transducer after you`ve calibrated it correctly. Do you have it on your Garmin LS screen? maybe you can help me .

Mine doesnât work properly and thatâs why I said, âthat I was surprised that yours didâ. Itâs the one fault that I see with garmin.

Honestly That`s not exactly what you said sir.Your statement was "I don`t see how that stays calibrated in the first place,to be honest". but it`s all good.

Ok, Iâll try to explain it, not sure youâll follow. Mine is mounted on a TM, it goes up and down. Yours is mounted on a pole, that pole flips to the right and flops to the left, gets turned forwards, flipped backwards, gets turned every which way to Sunday. Now if mine wonât stay calibrated and it only moves 2 directions, then I definitely donât see how one mounted on a pole that gets flipped in every direction possible could ever stay calibrated. SoâŚbecause that pole is not stationary in any shape or formâŚ.âI donât see how it stays calibrated in the first placeâ. If itâs never been calibrated, then YES, it would need to be calibrated to work properly.

I follow your explanation but SORRY you are incorrect! There is no flippin or floppin happening with the pole as it is securely held in place by a ram mount & I assure you it is quite stationary until I decide to move it. The transducer itself is mounted on a 0 degree LS mount in "Forward" position and only moves when I want to click it into the "Down" position (I never use Perspective mode) no different than any other pole set up I`ve seen on Youtube or this Forum & only gets turned on the Day of the week I select. So with all due respect SIR ,suggestions aside, having not seen it,you are in no position to speak on it`s behavior.
