I do not recal that boat having a depth sounder. Run to the nearest marine
store and pick up a fish finder that will give you not only the depth read
out, but also sound a warning for shallow water. You should be able to
install this in about 2 hours or so.

My wife and I bought a boat this season and having never owned or driven a
boat before, I've been learning to drive it. But in the meantime, I've
done
my level best to "destroy" it by running into docks trying to park it etc.
We keep it on a manmade lake that the state regulates the depth of......so
there are parts that are very shallow and they get even shallower as the
season goes on......tonight we went out for a ride and I ran over either
some rocks or a log or something.....I don't know how much damage I
did......what is the worst case.....that could be.....could I have damaged
the fiberglass???? if so can it be repaired........last weekend I tried
to
back the boat up to a small sandy island because that's what everyone else
does......and I ended up with the propeller stuck in the sand.....could
that
have damaged the propeller or the mechanism......As you can see I know
nothing about boats or anything mechanical........I'm not sure that the
trim
is going all the way up......If anyone can shed some light on this, I
would
be very appreciative.......
by the way the boat is an I/O 18 ft SeaRay......
