Depth and keel offset
The displayed depth is the distance from the
transducer on the boat to the bottom of the water,
plus or minus an offset which is called the keel
offset:
A positive keel offset displays depth as
measured from a point above the transducer.
For example, if you set the offset to the distance
from the transducer to the surface, it will display
the depth from the surface to the bottom of
the water.
A negative keel offset displays depth as
measured from a point below the transducer.
For example, if you set the offset to minus the
distance from the transducer to the bottom
of the keel, it will display the depth from the
bottom of the keel to the bottom of the water.
