Below are some typical ways in which the offset is used: A) For Depth below Keel: Set the distance from transducer to the keel. Enter a negative value, e.g. B) For Depth Below Transducer: no offset required. C) For Depth Below Surface (waterline): Set the distance from transducer to the surface: Enter a positive value., e.g. 52 | -2.0 +0.5 +0.0 20.5 ft 18 ft 20 ft A B C Sonar | Lowrance HDS Gen2 Touch
