hoW the fish haWk oPerates

The Fish Hawk Probe is fastened to the downrigger cable just above the downrigger ball and 

has sensors that constantly monitor water temperature and speed as it travels through the water. 
The probe sends a sonar signal with that information to the Transducer mounted on the back of 

the boat. The Transducer, which is hooked up to the LCD display, sends the data from the Probe 
and the water’s surface to the liquid crystal display (LCD) mounted in the boat. 

As the water temperature, speed or depth (model X4D only) changes, the LCD updates to 

reflect the new information. To compensate for wave action, speed is calculated over a 20-second 
period.  The probe operates at depths from 1 to 300 feet.
