[C320-list] Transducer depth

[Kirk McCullough]

I measured that once to put in the correct offset depth in a new depth 
sounder I was installing. As I recall the transducer is mounted about 12' 
under the water line.

Your sounder may have or may not have an offset value entered, which will 
affect the reading. If you had 4.8 feet on the sounder, and you didnt run 
aground, you may have an offset equal to the draft of your fin keel.
