Re: Stus-List Winter discussions - depth sounder offset

Dwight: I think your measurement of the offset from the waterline would be more accurate to the chart.I use the offset from the transducer to the bottom of the keel to give me a slight 'comfort level' or 'insurance' as happened this past Summer.I wasn't on the helm when the alarm went

On Pegasus, I added a foot to the offset on the chart plotter, and read actual depth on the autopilot display. Mainly because I couldn't figure how to set the offset on the Raymarine ST70 display. But it actually works out great. I know the depth for anchoring and still have water unde

I'm on the same page as you, Dennis. The depth sounder is a handy nav tool. If it doesn't match the numbers on the chart, then I know something's wrong. Andy C&C 40 Peregrine Newport, RI On Sun, Dec 20, 2015 at 3:03 PM, Dennis C. via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Just curious what l

Re: Stus-List Winter discussions - depth sounder offset

I use the same, depth sounder shows water depth to compare to charts. If I recall correctly, in my Raymarine setup I adjusted for the depth of the transducer below the waterline, and since I have clear hoses on my cockpit drains I was able to get a decent estimate of transducer's depth. Neil

Stus-List Winter discussions - depth sounder offset

Just curious what listers use for a draft offset and why. I use the actual offset as measured from the transducer to the bottom of the keel so the depth shown closely matches the charted depth. I prefer to compare the depth shown on my instruments to the chart plotter rather than have to do the m
