[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 84231, member: 55"] Measure from your transducer down to the bottom most part of the lower unit when trimmed to where you would have it in shallow water. Add a few inches. That is your safe zone on the depthfinder. You can measure from the waterline down, but since you have no way of knowing what the distance from the waterline is from in the boat, I go with my sonar number. Although, if you see the condition of my prop, or the skinny water I run through (sometimes too skinny - which is evident by the condition of my prop) you might add a few more inches to your depthfinder reading than I.
