The most sophisticated depth sounders are designed more for the serious fishing enthusiast than for actual depth measurement used in conjunction with piloting. Features include a white-line display to help separate low-lying fish from the bottom itself, the use of color in a video display to help identify types of fish, readouts of water temperature, and even the ship's position when hooked up to electronic navigation equipment.

The amount of daylight in a room will also affect the decision as to the color depth. Rooms that have ample sunlight may be painted in dark tones with a semiglaze. Rooms with only a small window area or with little natural illumination should be brightened by having the Wall surfaces covered in light warm tones. Ceilings may be calcimined or painted white or off-white. An agreeable effect is obtained if the ceiling is treated in a lighter tint of the color used for the walls. Increase in color interest may be obtained by painting the ceiling a color contrasting, either in hue or in value, with the walls. Ceilings that are painted in a color darker than the walls or treated in gold or silver leaf tend toward a modern effect. If a definite color is used for the ceiling, it should be repeated elsewhere in the Decoration of the room.

Knowledge of the depth of the water under your Boat not only contributes to its safe operation, but can also be used to help determine your position on a chart. A specific depth may not tell you where you are, but it will definitely tell you where you are not if the depth does not match the chart.
