Warning
The GPSMAP 185 Sounder should not be used as a
navigational aid or depth sounder to
prevent collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal
injury. The digital depth displayed is the depth under
the transducer and not necessarily the front of the
boat. By the time a depth is displayed most of your
boat may have already passed over that area. We rec-
ommend that you operate the boat at very slow speed
if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.
