sonar-----very good for depth

By DAVID K.

good tool! This item did as it said it could do! Read ice fiching depth excellent! Ice was hard to read through! Air under ice was the problem It worked very well

Ultra-Portable Incredibly Easy, Very Effective...
Not only will this depth finder give you instant depth readings, from 2.5' to 199' (0.76 meters to 61 meters), in 1/10th precision, but at the press of a button, the display will give real time temperature (water or air) and fish readings. Use it in the winter to shoot through ice before cutting your hole. Use it in the summer as a range finder and temperature meter while diving. Use it as a backup depth sounder on your pleasure boat or scan for channels in your dingy. No matter how you use it, the Hawkeye Digital Sonar is the one piece of equipment you should never leave the dock without... Side-Scan Fish Detecting Sonar:
There is no guessing where the drop-offs are or where the fish are hiding when you use the Hawkeye Digital Sonar. One press of the button allows you to scan an area for drop-offs, ledges, or hiding fish within 199' (61 meters). Scan under weeds, lily pads, or even docks for trophy lurkers before making a cast; the presence of fish is clearly indicated on the LCD.

Applications:
Shorelines & Docks: Aim the sonar from any shoreline: river banks, creek banks, pond banks, lake banks, etc.
Dock, Jetty, Pier: Use the Manual Mode to suspend the depth finder from docks, jetties and piers.
Float Tube, Kayak, Canoe: Use the Automatic or Manual Modes from float tubes, kayaks or canoes. Or set inside the hull and shoot through the hull for depth and fish readings.
Boat, Raft, Tender, Dingy: Use the Automatic or Manual Modes from boats, rafts, tenders and dinghies. Or set inside the hull and shoot through the hull for depth and fish readings.
PWC: A perfect primary depth finder for your PWC.
Ice Fishing: Shoot through the ice before drilling your hole to check the depth or see if there are fish. Suspend in the hole while fishing to keep an eye out for passing fish.
Diving, Snorkeling: Use it as a range finder while diving to tell how far away distant objects are. Instantly know how far from the bottom you are. Point at the surface and you'll know how far down you are.

This precision instrument gives air and water temperature readings to the nearest 1/10th degree Fahrenheit or Celsius. The fish indicator displays fish in the sonar beam and the adaptive software programming minimizes false readings. Easy-Touch user interface gives one-touch access to depth and temperature readings. Display lock flashes the last calculated depth, allowing remote viewing of readings. Shoot-Thru Technology allows readings through ice or boat hulls and depth and temperature can be set in imperial (feet) or metric (meters) readings. The instrument has a waterproof battery compartment for 4 x AA batteries (not included). It comes with an integrated strap for tie-off and prevents accidental loss. Unit has a glare-free display with Soft-Glow backlight for easy viewing under any ambient light condition.

The display is a polarized liquid crystal icon and measures 1.6" x .75" (40 mm x 19mm). The device has an accuracy of +/- 5% and an operating temperature range of 0° to 122°F (-18° to 50°C). The transducer frequency is 200 kHz and the transducer beam angle is 25° degrees. The current drain of the Sonar unit is 40 mA, nominal with a battery life expectancy of 30 hours of continuous use, and the units overall measurements are 7" x 2" x 2" (177 mm x 50 mm x 50 mm). The Hawkeye Handheld Digital Sonar comes with a wrist lanyard, battery holder, waterproof battery cap, and an operation manual.

Questions & Answers

Questions about this item:

Shopper  How do I change the batteries?
RAY E  unscrew it
ROBERT H  End unscrews
PAUL P  Batteries are replaceable by unscrewing top - it has a nice o-ring seal. But don't buy this one as it shorted out on me and its replacement shorted out too, so I gave up and threw it away...
brian o  i recently purchased this item for use in bridge inspections and it immediately fogged up and gives inaccurate readings. i am highly capable of keeping sensitive equipment functional in the commercial diving industry but this has not lived up to its reputation . it has a tight seal and fresh batteries, but i just can't trust the readings. is there something else I can do, or did i waste my money?
TUGBERK H  Im still using mine for many months without any problem. I mostly use it at horbour bottom readings. Sometimes i check the sea floor general diving applications. Perhaps you got a faulty unit . You better sent it back.
JEANETTE B  Not sure this will be comforting to hear. I purchased this for my husband in Dec 2012, but he did not start using it until this year. It was stored with the batteries not installed, and started out working just fine. However, after one recent day where the unit was left in the water for several minutes to try to get an accurate water temperature reading the lens fogged up. I finally placed it near the stove in the kitchen and it has dried out, but we have yet to get it back in the water to test it's accuracy. Our use is limited to testing depth for fishing from a canoe, and we have been good about letting it air out after use. In the future we will not let it sit in water for any length of time. I want to add that I was somewhat skeptical when I purchased this item because there were several online posts back in 2012 that indicated the unit was unsatisfactory, but given our limited use I thought I'd chance it. Needless to say, I am disappointed with the early failure of the seals around the digital display.
DILLON B  I have had one for work in the NPS for several years and found it to be accurate to within 4 inches. The fogging issue generally relates to dramatic swings in temperatures. Such as storage of the device in an air-conditioned car and then use in warm water, etc. Mine has never fogged in cold or warm water if it was at or near ambient temp. Many times even if it was not. Have you checked the units you are reading in? Maybe it is in metric? Just a thought
Derek S  I put water into a 3 ton tank. The tank is about 1.5m deep. As I add water, it start to fill for example to 0.5m. I like to check if this equipment can let me check if I can check the depth of the water filled. that is if it can hit the water surface and tell me how deep is the water. I am measuring distance of 10cm to 1.5m? Thanks Derek
STANLEY S  The head must be in the water, just like a boat depth finder. Also it should be deeper than to read
DILLON B  yes it can do that but it is not very accurate. You will have error of plus/minus 30cm. So it will work, but it is not going to give you exact readings that would allow you to sort out volume of the tank exactly, but a close estimate.
COLLEEN W  Yes, this sonar device will measure the change in the water as you fill up the tank. It's really an awesome product. We have a sailboat & go exploring with our dingy all the time. It's great to see the different depths of the water, reefs, etc. This product will definitely do what you want it to do! One note - this device is in feet.....our boat is in Thailand right now so I can't look at it but if I remember correctly it doesn't change to meters - you'll have to convert feet to meters.
Shopper  will it take readings through ice, for ice fishing?
DAVID C  I have not tried to use it through ice. So far it has functioned well for gauging depth and water temperature on my sailboat ....
Steve S  No it will not go through ice as the ice would bounce the signal back.
DILLON B  no not accurately. Like all sonars it works by reading the reflections back from the object(s) it hits. Ice diffuses and diffracts the beam, causing inconsistent and inaccurate readings. Of course this is dependent on the ice thickness and quality. You can get tolerably accurate readings through about 4 inches of crystal clear ice, but even then take the readings with caution. Best thing would look at a GPS/ and or lake chart. This works great for water depths in all water types and conditions, but through ice... no sonar available on the commercial market will do that.
pauline R  polar vision strikemaster says it can is this not true
SHAUN R  I'm not sure on ice, but I've put it in a bucket inside my boat and it worked through the hull. Perhaps in water above the ice it would work. Only way to know is to try it.
DAVE E  wish i could help you out but down here in texas no one has ever heard of ice fishing. don't see why it wouldn't, though, assuming you're not having to read through ice with a lot of bubbles.
BRAD D  Haven't tried shooting through ice. You have to keep in mind that the unit has to be in water to transmit it's ping . You won't be able to simply place it against the ice.
JAMES L  not sure how reads through ice, but very accurate when i held in water, i ck'd with a yardstick, but needed to be in the water.
TODD C  Can this product be used to find underwater distance between two wrecks in low vis? If used to measure horizontal distance, will it work to locate a wreck?
CHARLES K  Like so many things - it depends. The hawkeye has a beam width of about 22 degrees. So if you are on the bottom and aim horizontally, it will return a distance to mud. If you are shallower and the wreck is large then it should work for you
MAHMOUD A  I have not tried that. I will certainly try and have the answer in few days
MICHAEL C  I do believe it can be used for underwater surveying so it should work for what you want to do.
