[Rhodes22-list] Through hull transducer

[Bud]

Rory,
   when I get into 3.5ish feet of water, my unit starts to flash and go 
blank - I think I am at the limit of
what the sensor can read.  Also, if the keel is scrapping bottom.  it 
may be stirring up the bottom and causing
false readings and my unit to go blank..  Eventually something hits 
bottom, either the keel or the rudder. 
In any case, when depth gets less than 4 feet, the depth gauge has done 
its job and now I am looking over
 the side and "listening" to the keel and the rudder.  I have never 
tried to see if the gauge can read anything less.
Hope that helps.

-Bud
