There is a sign in Key Largo that says the controlling depth is 5 1/2 feet. The deepest draft boat that followed me claimed to draw 5 1/2 feet. The Captain reported that he scrapped bottom near the Steamboat and Bowlegs Cuts. He reported that his depth alarm sounded frequently, many times in deeper (7') water. He hypothesized that the bottom grass caused the alarms. Hope this helps!M/V SUNSHINEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16029948914632590548noreply@blogger.com
