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.
More Transducer Mounting Tips:
• Most often the Fish Hawk Transducer should be mounted using the same
criteria as most fish finders
• DO NOT cut the Transducer cable. If the cable is too long simply coil the
excess out of the way. Ten foot cable extensions are available for sale on-line from
Fish Hawk Electronics if a longer cable is needed.
• When possible run the Transducer cable through its own hole through the
transom above the waterline.
• Watch the Transducer installation video found on the Fish Hawk Website by
clicking on “Videos” in the “About” dropdown menu.
• We install marine grade plastic transducer mounting boards on the back of
our boats because they allow us to change the position of transducers without
drilling new holes in the transom.
