Keel and Waterline Offset

Water depth is measured from the transducer to the bottom, which not only diminishes the accuracy of depth readings, but also could present a problem for vessels with a large keel. The Offset feature can correct both issues via Keel Offset and Waterline Offset.

Keel Offset

You can protect your boat’s keel from obstructions by changing unit settings to display water depth from the keel to the bottom instead of from the transducer to the bottom. Before setting keel offset, measure the distance from the transducer to the lowest part of the keel. If, for example, the keel is 3.5 feet below the transducer, it will be input as –3.5 feet.
