depthmeter errors

Post by dan »

hey guys
im noticing that the stock depthmeter on my cd25 is not very accurate. is there any way to calibrate it? its usually reading atleast 3-6 feet on the shallow side. i did paint over the sensor face with bottom paint, maybe that is screwing it up....

thanks

there is something called transducer anti-fouling paint which comes in teeny little bottles that cost a lot - i suggest diving down and scraping off the bottom paint on your transducer and see if that solves the problem - if so, next year you can use the expensive stuff
