HawkEye Depth Sounder Simple and Functional

Are you looking for a simple device that will just tell you what the depth of the water is below your boat without all kinds of flashy colors and stuff you do not need? This Hawkeye digital depth sounder will get you immediate depth readings and thats all. It is relatively easy to install, straightforward instructions and has a clear LCD display. Well to be honest it can do it bit more than that because it also provides instantaneous access to water or air temperatures readings.

Some other features are:

  • - depth alarm,
  • - keel offset capabilities
  • - dual temperature displays.

As said, the HawkEye Depth Sounder is a simple device if you can call sonar simple that is. The depth is measured by the device with (not so simple) sonar and the water or air temperature readings are gathered via integrated sensors in both the transducer and head unit. It sounds difficult but at least the device is easy to use. You can choose between either a transom or thru-hull transducer. The transducer is one of the key critical components of a depth sounder. The transom transducer is a bit easier to install it generally work best in water that is somewhat calmer. Hull transducers are the best for clarity and performance, but are harder to install. If you have a need for high speed the hull transducer is a worthwhile investment.

What other people say about the Alutecnos Albacore 20 Fishing Reels:

# I have a Hawkeye in my boat. I mounted the transducer next to the motor, driver side. I used some 5 Minute Epoxy (forget brand) to hold it in place. It works great!

# The Hawkeye is a good little depth-sounder and it takes a bare trickle of current. I was quite pleased with it, and I believe you’ll find it good too.
