installinG the transdUCer
Properly installing the Transducer on the
back of your boat is key to getting the best
performance from your new Fish Hawk.
Properly located, the Transducer will
be completely immersed in the water at
trolling speeds and will ride nearly flush
with the bottom of the hull at planning speeds.
Selecting a Location for the Transducer
The Transducer should be located in an area not affected
by turbulence from the hull or motor. To locate the best place on the transom to
mount the Transducer, observe the water flow out from under the hull at trolling
speeds and while on plane. At trolling speeds look for the area that has the least
amount of prop or back wash. At planning speed look for the area with the least
amount of turbulence or bubbles. This will be the best place to mount the Transducer.
Mount the Fish Hawk Transducer as far away as possible from other transducers
that operate within 20 kHz of the 70 kHz Fish Hawk Transducer. When possible,
mount your Fish Hawk Transducer on the opposite side of the boat from other trans-
ducers. The Transducer has a wide angle of 77-degrees that permits the signal to be
received near the surface while increasing reception the deeper the probe goes.
DO NOT cut the Transducer cable. If the cable is too long simply coil the excess
out of the way. 15-foot cable extensions are available for sale on-line from Fish
Hawk Electronics if a longer cable is needed.
