    I think it is too, Cray. It's called "depth offset". "water level offset" is under chart.

    Depth Offset (for adjusting xducer immersion depth in the water) is under the Setup tab ...

    Depth Offset should always be adjusted before adjusting Water Level Offset ...because Depth Offset is "offsetting" the actual digital depth readout to account for the water above the xducer ...

    And then the digital depth readout is used as the "target" for adjusting the Water Level Offset (for the LakeMaster spot sounding to match the digital depth readout) ...

    Depth Offset need only be adjusted 1 time (or after Restore Defaults) ...

    Water Level Offset should be adjusted every time water level in the Lake fluctuates ...

    Depth offset. Nice. Now I don’t have to constantly do math in my head while fishing

    Rickie, if your xducer 2 ft below the surface, then your depth offset should be set at +2 , correct?

    Correct ... Depth Offset is "offsetting" the digital depth readout value ...

    Your example ...: xducer is 2ft in the water (maybe on TM) / digital depth readout indicates 10ft deep / adjust Depth Offset +2.0 --- 10ft + 2.0ft = 12ft actual water depth ...
