Default Ulterra "boat scale" setting

Where do I set this? I cant find it in my users manual. I see messages about boat scale but not how to do it or where to find the setting.
Thanx!

All it does is change the ramp up power. Default is 0, I think. If it's changed higher, at least on my 1775 impact, the spot lock over shoots, and won't stop correcting.
The setting is on the remote, not hard to find, but I don't remember just where.
It has nothing to do with power while running.

I can't find it for the regular Ulterra either, but if you have the LINK it's on page 68 of the user's manual.

If I were you, I would just give their support team a call and ask if the regular Ulterra has that option available.

Default Thanks Juls et all

Your respnse was a common sense matter; problem is I have no common sense. Called Minn Kota and they walked me trough it and now I'm set.
Problem was that I didn't know where to find the menu item for "boat scale." For anyone unenlightened like me, it is on the remote control. Touch on the "system" icon and then scroll down to "boat scale." Make any changes there.
Thanks all!

I wonder would the boat scale possibly work to make the cruise control more responsive? I've quit using it because of the slowness to respond and get me on my target speed. Most often I'm at 6-7.5 for trolling anyhow.

What Diesel Pro asked. My new Ulterra is very slow to respond and I liked my old Terrova better because of this. Never heard of the 'boat scale' setting before.
