Daylight Saving Time can be turned on or off on GPS-equipped fish finders. The steps vary by model series and software version, so use the instructions below for your fish finder.
The time displayed on the fish finder is automatically set by GPS. Minutes and seconds cannot be adjusted manually. To correct the displayed time, select the appropriate local time zone or UTC offset and Daylight Saving Time setting.
If you are unsure of your UTC offset, consult a reliable local source for the correct setting.

Why Is the Time on My Fish Finder Incorrect?

Because the fish finder receives its time from GPS, minutes and seconds cannot be manually changed.
