GC - Include pulpit??

[Bayhouse]

My 43' sport fish is 45' 8" LOA. The documentation to determine Gravity Center is unclear whether I should include the pulpit in the length - can someone clarify?

I assume we're talking about transducer setup settings...

From what I can tell, unless the pulpit is a significant contributor in weight to the overall buoyancy of the boat than it is not necessary to include it in the Transducer setup. If I find anything to the contrary I'll update the thread.

Hope this helps, :sail

Correct, doing the calcs to set xducer, SCX distances.

Thanks for clarifying Maggy!

Just to follow up,

I've confirmed from multiple sources that the pulpit is generally not included in technical measurements for things like SCX & XDR calculations which makes sense.
