For questions regarding compatibility, we suggest you carefully read your unit’s owner’s manual. Compatibility boils down to the unit’s data interface. Some depth finders are compatible with other navigational instruments, meaning that while you may not have an all-in-one system, they can be integrated with other displays. Many depth finders also include an alarm that you can set to sound off at a specified water depth. This ensures you have a margin of protection when it comes to keeping your boat from scraping the bottom. Many depth finders include a keel offset feature that enables you to calibrate the sounder to show a depth of zero feet when the bottom is at or near the lowest part of the keel. This is more than adequate for protection against rain, salt and spray. The Raymaine i40 and i50 depth sounder displays that West Marine offers are rated IPX6 for water resistance.
#MARINE DEPTH GAUGE INSTALL#
If you own a sailboat and are planning to install your display in your boat’s cockpit or on the mast, make sure your depth sounder has an LCD display that shows the depth in big numbers that can be easily read from a distance-and that the display is backlit for use at night. What to look for in a dedicated depth sounder display. Another example are powerboat owners who want a depth display that will fit into a standard instrument cutout on their dash. This type of depth display is typically installed on either side of the companionway where it can easily be read from the helm. Typical examples include sailboat owners who want a simple display with a big numerical readout of how much water they have below their keels. Specifications: Case dia: 53mm Fascia dia: 60mm Depth: 62mm Power: 11-14Vdc Current drain: 40mA Nominal Transmit power: 250W (max) Depth range: 0.7m - 60.While many boaters rely upon a fishfinder or multi-function display for depth information, there is still a demand for single or limited function displays that provide depth only. 78” (42mm x 20mm) LCD with a backlit dial and buttons.
Depth information is delivered on a polarized, 1.65” X. This attractive 2-inch (50mm) gauge is offered in Three color coordinated styles to match most Hardin marine gauge series. The digital display reads depths in tenths from 2.5 to 99.9 feet (0.75m to 30m) and in one-foot (0.3m) increments from 100 to 200 feet (30m to 60m).Both upper and lower alarm ranges can be set from 3 to 200 feet (1m - 60m). Hardin marine's Digital Depth Gauge provides precise depth readings in feet or meters (user selectable). A programmable keel offset automatically adjusts depth readings for the vessel’s draft requirements so boat owners will always know precisely what the depth is and how much clearance they have under the keel. The gauge comes with a 200kHz high-speed dual mount transducer that can be mounted on the transom or inside the hull making it easy to install on any style of boat.Īccurate depth readings are provided at boat speeds of up to 60 mph (95kph/50kts). For added safety, Hardin Marine's triple warning system alerts the boat operator to shallow water conditions in three ways - audible, red LED and blinking LCD icons. Hardin Marine Depth gauge uses advanced algorithmic programming to increase accuracy and provide precision depth readings.
