I was wondering how accurate these things are? I'm fairly new to boating and it drives me crazy when the shallow alarm starts going off, one second your in 40' of water and all of a second your in 2'. I know its all in what you spend but damn, my buddy's use to do the same thing and we ended up not paying attention to it and we payed dearly by hitting bottom and screwing up the prop.
