Transducer Location and Depth Sounder Setup on 280 EC

Rk1985

Good morning everyone,

was hoping someone may know how high the transducer is located from the keel on a 280 EC. 

I am trying to set up the Faria Depth Sounder, and needed to know the setting to use for KL (keel) mode, so that the gauge reads only the depth from the bottom of the keel. 

TIA!

Hey @Rk1985 I've answered your PM with a rather lengthy message, but a quick answer here is that it doesn't matter. It's under a foot, so just consider that a safety cushion. A soft bottom can give you a false reading greater than that.
