I have been through the Garmin manual and still not sure if I have the depth setting correct. My transducer is on the bottom of the aft keel at 2 ft below waterline. In the Garmin depth setting, is that + or - 2? Any help would be appreciated.
 
I'll answer my own question. Found out that the setting should be minus 2. This is for showing actual depth vs. depth below the keel.
 
A wise man once told me that he didn't care how deep the water was. He only cared how deep the water was beneath his keel.

Using no offset gives you a buffer, so to speak.

Thanks Jay. True saying. However, my brain works better with actual depth. Four feet is my magic (or about to be tragic) number. Matches my paper charts and in an instant of decision-making, its the number that pops into my head first.
