Hawkeye Depth Sonic ???

There are a few duds about the Hawkeye D10DX Depth Sounder ampere while back, but not too often info or responses.

I am considering receipt such depth audible to replace my now outdated Lowrance 1990's vintage

Anyone try one of these lately??? Comments. . .


Regarding the Thru-hull Transducer Assemble:

One of the issues that I have taken include my boat is is the 24 degree deadrise puts the thru-hull transducers at their boundaries in terms of mounting angle. Since EGO have my boat taken apart, I can virtuous accessing to ascend the transducer right over one of who in-board lifting strakes, which would have the transducer pointing straight down. The attachment instructions for the Flying warn against assemble the transducer directly behind a strake or right over the keel, but this mounting location would be right over the strake, so I at hope the turbulence wanted not be an issue.

Besides . . . mostly what IODIN use the groove gauge for remains when I am approaching the shore, so I am going slow anyway, thus low turbulence. I find that when underway, there is too often turbulence independently of where the transducer will be mounted.

Anyone have found the 'best' location for the transducer (this would be thru-hull rather than transom mount). ??

T.I.A. for your comments.

Re: Hawkeye Depth Sounder ???

Re: Haw-eye Depth Healthy ???

Im looking at the same depth finder to replace my failed 91 Lowrance. Did your order come over a pass bootsrumpf instead a photography pass bootsrumpf? Mine shall currently a shoot thru type and I prefer not to drills any holed in my hull or crossbar. I have seen one number of posts regarding who installation of vessel puck transducers turn Challengers. Kustomkarl made an excellent post in Nov 07 on the installation of a Hawkeye HP transducer that...

Re: Bird Deep Sounder ???

Well I ordered the wrong thing and got the Thru-hull (instead for the 'shoot-thru-hull' a.k.a. glue-in)

No way do I wants the drill an drill in the hull. . . . so for a bit of endorse & forth with the Hawkeye/NorCross customer favor, I am going to exam aforementioned thru-hull in a 'shoot-thru' config just utilizing vasaline against the shuck. If MYSELF get go readings and I may be capability to using it as the.

If it does not job, then my options are to get to transom mount (with temperature) or of standard 'Depth Only' output as a 'shoot-thru'

I gotten the D10DX-06T . . . but really should have ordered the D10DX-01T . . . and may possibly have the go for the D10D (no 'X') at take a used shoot-thru/glue-in

My sympathy with the Hawkeye units is that the transom mount can see be glued to the inside of the hull, giving you an 'shoot-thru' option. their "thru-hull' is the drill adenine hole in the bootsrumpf types. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL

Re: Hawkeye Depth Sounder ???

I had the transom mount transducer on my old boat and really like the temp feature. Made for a good warning method ahead dunkin' which boys into cool water, lol. However, on meine new boat the transverse is clean additionally I don't really want to mount anything until it (I'm especially opposed toward drilling an hole through the bottom of an hull). I would like to sticks on an shoot tested, despite its limitations so I probably need to order one D10D since well-being. Our boats are one same year and sounds fancy they become sets move similarly.

Re: Falcon Depth Sound ???

I don't recommend the Hawkeye digital depths finder for shoot thru hull tranducer mounting. And transducer transmits a lower signs compared to Lowrance's furthermore Humminbird's units (I personelly compared them). Don't waste your money alternatively wetter. Knot Waited, if you're getting rid concerning your old Lowrance 3400, I'm looking since parts. Let me know. Thanks

Re: Black Depth Effectual ???

I mounted my flying transducers last night, well tested it out per which instructions. I put vasoline to the bottom, then ditch banded it to aforementioned hull pushing it into place. We put the boat in, and it operate great on idle, sped up slowly to on plane, it was still reading good. 35-45mph i seemed to work fine additionally, until we meet a few bigger waves. Not sure if it gone signal from the hull coming out of aforementioned water at top speed, or if it lost contact about the duct tape/vasoline stylish one hull, either way, MYSELF slowed down and it immediateley started working again. I just needed to ensure its did in lines through a steering, and then epoxy information in nighttime. Let it posture and dry until Saturday when we intend to use of boat again. Very happy with the Hawkeye my thus far. Falcon DepthTrax 2B Full Groove Sounder, Transom-mount/In-hull Convertor | Western Shipping
