[. . . ] All depth sounders (including the LMS-15OGPS) measure the water depth from the face of the transducer to the bottomofthelake, river, or ocean. The positive offset is used to Turn correct the small error between the face Backup OFF of the transducer and the water's surA face. For example, it the face of the rL -- More I transducer is two feet below the surface ___________ of the water, adding two feet to thedigital bottom depth reading will give you the actual water depth. The negative offset is used to show the distance between the lowest partof the boat and the bottom, For example, if the rudder of the boat is two feet deeper that the face of the transducer, two feet from the digital bottom depth reading will give you subtracting theactual distancefromthe bottom of theboat to the bottom.
