Subject: Depth Sounders?

Depth sounders are good to CONFIRM groundings!

I wish I could find one the would show the real depth in real time. Most of them lag by at least one full boat length while moving at a minimum speed....

Yes, I was monitoring the depth sounder, mainly to find how far off it was. Did I mention both groundings were while anchored with an outgoing tide? It turns out we don't find the bottom unless the depth sounder reads 15". Now I know what to expect. :-)
