Keel depth below sounder

[Eric Carnell]

Hi all,
I just upgraded to an Airmar UDST800 which measures speed without a paddle wheel. I did this as I am getting tired of removing the transducer frequently (either to clean or to put in the blank to keep it clean). The new transducer cannot be adjusted with offset by the Raymarine Axiom. The best I can do is change my depth alarm to a lower number. Does anyone know the distance from the bottom of the wing keel to the transducer. Thanks.

Eric,

Please report back how well the new transducer works for you. I use a 2 ft offset.

Thank you Phil. I am using depth warning alarm now at 3.5 ft. below transducer. Might now go to 4 ft.
