Hawk Eye Depth gauge works

[tchies]

Installed an in-the-hull tranducer - Next to the exhaust outlet - where the resonator sat. Works fine - reads under 2 feet. I ground the area semi smooth and used J B Weld to attach it. Mounted the gauge next to the speedo - works up to about 30 mph - Sometimes higher. Now if I could find one that would plot depths on GPS for further study.

Hey I was wondering about you.

Mine also works up to about 30/35. Seems as if the bottom is real hard it'll even work at 50 ish.

The one problem i'm having is that when im somewhere with a soft bottom (the harbor and a few other areas) I get NOTHING.........

Do u see that too?

This makes me more so glad I didn't go with the HawkEye.

I went with the Lowrance LST3800. It's great, works at WOT, and reads down to about a foot.

yea but that's so uh, ugly?

Also - mine is placed sort of up front, because there was no other good places for it, so I didnt expect it to work when I come out of the water.....

I also might not have installed it the best

I've not had an issue with it not working or water getting in the display.

It will also tell me the temperature of the engine compartment, not a big feature but neat to know.

Sometimes it does go - - -

I really don't trust any of them at 50 - It would be to late when it hit '1'

I usually use to it find a channel on the Miss. when floating.

Does anyone know how to kill the "beep beep" when the lanyard is plugged in. I used the purple switched wire to power my accessories - which means the lanyard has to be on.

I went with a Standard Horizon depth gauge, the read out was the size of a pack of cigs, custom made transom mount using the drain plug hole for location, was good to over 63+ miles per hour!...To bad I sold it with the ski, before we got the GTX SC...PR...

Is there any way to integrate they non-BRP depth senders with the OEM dash dispay?

tchies-you can just cut the wire to the alarm(in handlebar assembly),or fill those little round holes(in front of handlebar assembly)with silicone,and you'll barely hear the beeping-kaybat
