Generally accurate, but not helpful. OK, but you didn't mention that you wanted a tolerance of .1 degree. You were talking 5-10 degrees difference, and wanted to know where your unit was. Pretty sure if you did as suggested, you could determine how far off your temp reading is. I assumed you were smart enough to check the ice bath and boiling water with a separate thermometer when you checked your transducer.

That said, what does it matter what the actual temp is, as long as you can find the warmest/coolest water temps on the lake you are on. Remember also, the temps you are reading are also only surface temps, and will not reflect accurately the temps more than a foot or two down.

No, I am not a lawyer, but I am an engineer. Pretty sure I know a lot more about these things than a lawyer would. Are you a school teacher? hehehe
