I am slightly confused by your question. I will assume that you can't import the files. It will be based on your location. If you are sitting on a large pinnacle, you might be well below 120 ft but might be outside of the 20 FA line.
Two or three 20FA waypoints will cover most kayak fishing spots, and you can manually input these waypoints into your fish finder. MooMoo is doing this way. Also, you might want to use your phone apps to verify your locations, like Google Maps, Google Earth, Navionics, and Locus Map.

If you need any help, just let me know, Sonny.

Thanks Paul for your reply. I meant FF without the import option. My understanding is the 20 & 50 fathom lines are based on average depths not absolute. They really make things much more complicated than it should be!

KPD:
For those who are lazy, you can just open the CDFW map on your phone: https://cdfw.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=c00c82e1f32a49e99c747e2411e3439e

It now shows the 20 fathom line and allows you to overlay your position.

Thank you Paul,
there it seems to be a problem with the Wix site, unless it is an operator (me) error.

Thanks for putting this together Paul and thanks Al for making the GPX files.

I was able to get both files onto the disk and then load both of them onto my Hook 4 as trails,
I was also able to get the 50 Fathoms line to display!

Unfortunately I was unable to get the 20 Fathoms to display despite double checking all the settings and going through transferring that file a second time.

Locally I'm not worried about being near the line but Fort Ross and North it gets deep real
quick in some spots and cell reception is spotty so can't just rely on the GPS on the phone.
