[Public-list] Depth sounder questions

[Gordon Laco]

Hi there - 

Nope - no depth sounder will work with the boat out of the water.  In fact,
any air under the boat (even bubbles in turbulence) will prevent it working.
The only way to surely test the transducer and head is to take them to a
shop. (Sorry)
