Depth

A typical transducer installation is through the hull in front of the 

keel. A datum (offset value) can be set, such that the depth display 

refers to either the water line or the base of the keel.

+VE: Positive Datum for Waterline

- VE: Negative Datum for Keel

(0.0)

Setting the depth offset displays depth readings from directly below 

the keel or propellers of the boat, or from the waterline to the 

seabed. This makes it easier to see the available depth, taking into 

account the draught of the boat.

The offset value to be entered should represent the distance 

between the face of the depth transducer, and the lowest part of 

the boat below the waterline, or the distance between the face of 

the depth transducer and the water surface.
