Why can't Axiom adjust depth?

So, I bought an Axiom 9" plotter a couple of years ago. (The non-sonar version because it is on a sailing boat, not a fishing boat.) I had an old depth transducer that I have kept because it is a nice in-hull setup. I used a Garmin transducer adaptor to output NMEA 2000 so the Axiom could read depth. It recently started playing up so bought a Raymarine DST800 depth, speed and temp transducer that outputs NMEA2000 so that the Axiom could read directly.
The trouble is that the Axiom cannot adjust the depth reading for keel offset so it only reads depth below the transducer. A couple of lines of code is all it would take but Raymarine is obviously too lazy. (temp and speed are also non-adjustable). I really wish I had bought B&G now....

So, it looks like I will have to buy some more kit to get this to work. Does anyone have an idea how to get this to work without spending a small fortune?

Re: Why can't Axiom adjust depth?

you can definatly change the keel offset... probably not looking in the right place.

try and do it from the nema 2000 device list of the 800 itself.

Re: Why can't Axiom adjust depth?

Page 230 off the lighthouse 4 advanced operations manual says you set up transducer offset in the fish finder app….

I personally have an i70 and set it on that - axiom picks shows same depth
