52SB, Running gear offset

[Gimme Time]

Anyone know what the distance is between the sounder and the bottom of the running gear? With Smart Craft you don't have inch by inch offset control. I picked -2'4" offset to start with until the next time I'm hauled and can get a more accurate measurement.

The other way of asking the same question is distance from waterline to sounder?

Many thanks,

AJ

Old post but I found the offset to be about 2’6” also. Not exact but measured the water depth at the back of the boat and then adjusted offset to match.

"between the sounder and running gear" is more like 14 inches; props are up in pockets.

I was referring to the second part of his comment, waterline to sounder

My boat is 3' 10" water line to bottom of props; this is from the Owner's manual

Water line to sounder is the dimension I like to use to adjust the offset in my GPS.

That gives me actual water depth on my depth gauges.

Yup - understand. I use water depth below sounder (no offset).
