Set Keel Offset
This unit measures water depth from the face of the transducer. Since
the transducer is installed below the water surface, the depth displayed
by the digital depth, chart depth scale, chart cursor or fish symbols is
not exact. If the transducer is 1 foot below the surface, and the screen
shows the water depth as 30 feet, then the actual depth is 31 feet.
On sailboats or other large vessels with deep drafts, the distance
between the transducer installation and the keel or lower engine unit
can be several feet. In those cases, an inexact depth reading could
result in grounding or striking underwater structure. The Keel Offset
feature eliminates the need for the navigator to mentally calculate how
much water is under his keel.
Keel Offset lets you calibrate the digital depth: chart depth scale, chart
cursor depth and fish symbol depth displayed on the screen. To calibrate
the depth indicators, first measure the distance from the face of the
