Maybe this was already asked, how far can you go from the mines and have them still work. For example could I lay them in the english channel and head out to the ocean and still sink a ship or does it only work in the visual range of my sub?

Is it possible to sink yourself hitting one of your own mines?

Edit: I saw on the first page the range is aobut 20km, so basically you would set them in front of a convoy and hope they run into them.
