Default Faulty depth finder attributed to whale attack!!

Wake: The track made by a moving body in a fluid.

From this can I conclude your boat desn't move much?

Sailboats don't make a wake. A sailboat at most makes a little
series of waves that follow along behind when at hull speed.
These waves do not constite the lawful definiton af a wake.

I hope this helps.

By what definition is that about a wake? Simian, your blowing smoke
again. A Wake is formed by any movement of the hull thru the water.
