All transducers measure water depth from the transducer to the
bottom. As a result, water depth readings do not account for the
distance from the transducer to the lowest point of the boat in the
water or from the transducer to the water surface.
To show the depth from the lowest point of the boat to the bottom,
do the following. Before setting the Structure offset, measure the
distance from the structure transducer to the lowest point of the
boat in the water. If, for example, the distance is 0.3 m (1 ft), it will be
input as (minus) - 0.3 m (-1 ft).
To show the depth from the water surface to the bottom, do the
following. Before setting the Structure offset, measure the distance
from the structure transducer to the water surface. If, for example,
the distance is 0.3 m (1 ft), it will be input as (plus) 0.3 m (1 ft).
A setting of 0 (zero) causes the depth displayed to be the distance
from the transducer to the bottom.
