Congratulations to Stanley DeJong, Naples, FL, who correctly answered last week’s Mindbender. “A marine depth sounder or transducer sends energy pulses or signals from the thru-hull to the bottom and then records the time it takes for the signal to return to the transducer. With a simple calculation, it divides the time in half and converts that to the measured depth.”
