6.5 Depth Offset
Depths are measured from the transducer to the sea
bed, but you can apply an offset value to the depth
data, so that the displayed depth reading represents
the depth to the sea bed from either the keel or the
waterline.
Before attempting to set a waterline or keel
offset, find out the vertical separation between the
transducer and either the waterline or the bottom of
the keel on your vessel, as appropriate. Then set the
appropriate depth offset value.
