GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICRO DEPTH SOUNDER
The HawkEye® Micro Depth Sounder’s auto-ranging, auto-
sensitivity
features mean that you never have to worry about
adjustments. Simply turn the power on, and you’re ready to
go. The DSM emits sound signals that travel through water,
and then calculates the amount of time that elapsed while
the signal traveled down to the bottom and returned back to
the transducer. This time is calculated by the DSM and
displayed as a depth reading on the LCD. Extremely dirty water, very soft bottom, high
speeds, improper transducer mounting, deep water, or a combination of the above will
result in incomplete or inaccurate readings. Under these conditions inaccurate readings or
“---” will be displayed.
POWERING THE DISPLAY ON AND OFF
To Power ON - Press and release the button on the front of the Display. The LCD
will display a test sequence and then switch to normal operation.
Manually Powering OFF - Press and HOLD the button for 5 Seconds. Release
when “OFF” is displayed on the display. The unit is now OFF.
Auto OFF Feature - to help save your battery if you forget to turn the D11S OFF,
the unit will automatically turn OFF if “---” is displayed on the LCD for 5
continuous minutes.
SETTING THE UNITS OF MEASURE
The units of measure for depth readout and alarm functions can be set in 4 easy steps.
The two settings available are Feet (FT) and Meters (M).
To Set the Units:
1. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until
the units indicator (FT or M) blinks.
2. To set the units to FEET press the button. “FT” will
flash on the Display.
3. To set the units to METERS press the button. “M”
will flash on the Display.
www.hawkeyeelectronics.com
4. The display will return to the normal operation mode automatically after five seconds.
SETTING THE DEPTH ALARM
The alarm function can be set for depths ranging from 2 to 10 feet and triggers
an Audible and LCD Icon Alarm when the depth is less than the setting.
To set the SHALLOW ALARM:
1. Press and release the button located on the
front of the D11S display. The current alarm
setting will be displayed on the display. "0" is
the default setting and will turn the alarm
“OFF”.
2. Pressing the key will increase the selected
value. When the setting reaches “10”, the next
key pressed will reset the alarm to “0”.
3. After your selection is made, the display will
return to normal operation after 5 seconds.
NOTICE:
To turn the alarm OFF, the alarm should be set to “0”.
When triggered, the audible alarm sounds for 10 seconds while the "
" icon
flashes on the display. After 10 seconds, the audible alarm mutes and the "
"
icon continues to blink until the depth increases or the alarm is reset. To reset the
alarm repeat steps 1 thru 3.
TRANSOM MOUNTING THE TRANSDUCER
IMPORTANT:
Transom mounting the transducer is suitable for most
vessels and generally offers the best performance. If you
decide to glue the transducer in-hull, you MUST test the
location on water prior to permanently affixing it to the hull.
If you cannot obtain satisfactory readings during on water testing you
will need to transom mount the transducer, or switch to a custom
transducer. If you have determined that you are going to try to glue
the transducer in-hull, please skip to the next section.
www.hawkeyeelectronics.com
Tools & Supplies Required for Installation
• Power Drill
• 5/8” (16 mm) drill bit, hole saw or spade bit
• 1/8” (3 mm) drill bit
• 9/64” (4 mm) drill bit
• Marine Sealant/Caulk
• 30 Grit Sandpaper
• “Phillips” Screwdriver
• Pencil
• Tie Wraps
• Water Based Antifouling Paint
• Masking Tape
Transom mounting is suitable for the following vessels:
• Outboard, inboard/outboard, single inboard, or jet-drive propulsion.
• Hull deadrise angle below 30°.
• Transom angle from 3-20°.
NOTICE:
To get a good “view” of the mounting location, while the
vessel is out of the water, position yourself at the transom
and look at the bottom of the hull towards the bow. Using
illustrations A thru I, note anything that could interrupt the clean flow
of water to the transducer mounting location.
NOTICE:
To achieve maximum performance try the following:
Have someone run the boat on plane for you in smooth
water. CAREFULLY look over the transom at the water
flowing from the bottom of the boat. Find the location which produces
the least amount of turbulence (air bubbles). This is the location you
will want to mount the transducer.
NOTICE:
To prevent drilling holes too deeply, wrap masking tape around
the bit 7/8" (22 mm) from the point. To minimize surface
cracking on fiberglass hulls use a chamfer or countersink bit. If
either is not available, start drilling with a 1/4" (6 mm) bit to a
depth of 1/16" (1 mm), then finish the hole with the 9/64" (4mm)
bit.
www.hawkeyeelectronics.com
STEP 1
Choosing a Mounting Location
To obtain the best performance, the transducer
should be mounted in a location where the water
flow beneath the hull is aeration and turbulence-free.
Try to mount the transducer as close to the
centerline of the boat as possible. Consult the boat
manufacturer for the best in-hull transducer
placement. If this information is unavailable, follow
the guidelines below.
A. On a single drive outboard or inboard/outboard
boat, mount on the starboard side at least 4"
beyond the radius of the propeller.
B. On a twin outboard or inboard/outboard boat,
mount between the drives, making certain that
the transducer is not directly in front of either
drive or propeller (avoid aligning directly in line
with the bottom of the boat if the hull comes to a
point).
C. On an inboard boat, mount as far to the port or
starboard as possible so that the propeller
turbulence does not affect the performance of
the sensor.
D. On a single jet drive boat, mount on the
starboard side at least 4” outside the intake
grate.
E. On twin jet drive boats, mount on the center
line, between the intake grates (avoid aligning
directly in line with the bottom of the boat if the
hull comes to a point).
F. On sailboats, mount on the starboard side at
least 6" outside the keel.
G. On pontoon boats and catamarans, mount on
the starboard hull at least 2" outside the hull
protector or centerline.
H. On PWC's, mount on the starboard side, at least
2" outside the intake grate.
www.hawkeyeelectronics.com
Mounting Location “DONT’s”
NOTICE:
To deliver consistent, accurate
readings, the transducer must have
a continuous supply of non-
turbulent water. Do not mount the transducer
in an area of turbulence or bubbles.
Never install the transducer where the boat may be
supported during trailering, launching, hauling, or
storage.
NEVER MOUNT:
A. Behind water intakes, discharge openings, or
thru-hull fittings.
B. Behind strakes, struts, or hull irregularities.
C. Behind transom steps or pockets.
D. Behind eroding paint, hull deformities, or marine
growth.
E. Behind rivets or strakes on aluminum boats.
F. Behind the step on stepped hulls.
G. Directly on the “V” in the hull.
H. Behind propellers or anywhere propeller
turbulence will interrupt the flow of “clean” water
to the transducer.
I. In areas where the hull has a reverse angle.
www.hawkeyeelectronics.com
STEP 2
Assembling the Transom Mount Bracket
1. With the Locking Tab in the up position, align the
transducer and bracket, then slide the transducer
into the Pivot Bracket until it cannot slide any
further (minimal force is required) (illustration A).
2. Press the Locking Tab down against the Pivot
Bracket until it locks firmly into place.
3. Slide the Pivot Bracket arms through the back of
Screw Bracket as pictured. (illustration B).
4. Grasp the transducer in your hand as shown in the
picture to the right. Rest the screw bracket against
a solid object (ground) and press the Pivot Bracket
into the Screw Bracket with enough force until it
snaps into place (illustration C).
NOTICE:
To unlock the locking tab
use a flat head screwdriver
to pry the tab up.
STEP 3
Mounting the Transom Mount Bracket
1. Locate Transom Template inserted in this manual.
2. At the desired mounting location, position the
template so the arrow at the bottom is aligned with
the bottom edge of the vessel making certain that
the template is parallel to the waterline of the
vessel.
3. Using a 9/64" (4 mm) drill bit, drill two holes 7/8" (22
mm) deep at the locations indicated on the
template marked with an "X".
A
B
C
D
www.hawkeyeelectronics.com
4. The bracket is designed for a standard 13° transom
angle. To determine if the plastic shim is needed,
position the transducer at the desired location.
Using a straight edge, compare the underside of the
transducer relative to the underside of the hull. The
stern (trailing edge) of the transducer should be
1/16" - 1/8" (1 - 3 mm) below the bow (leading edge)
of the sensor.
5. Apply a marine sealant to the threads of the two #10
x 1-1/4" self-tapping screws and screw the bracket
to the hull. DO NOT tighten the screws completely
until you position the transducer as per # 4 above.
NOTICE
Do not allow the leading edge of the
transducer to extend more than 1/8"(3 mm)
of an inch below the bottom of the boat as
this will create increased aeration and
turbulence.
NOTICE:
Align the included shims to achieve a slight angle as per the illustration
below. To prevent aeration, NEVER position the transducer in a
manner that the Leading Edge (bow) is LOWER than the Trailing Edge
(stern).
www.hawkeyeelectronics.com
STEP 4
Cable Routing
Route the transducer cable over the transom, through a deck or splash-well drain
hole or through a new hole drilled in the transom. If a new hole is required, it
MUST be drilled well above the waterline.
To Drill a Cable Pass Through:
1. Mark the desired location with a pencil.
2. Check for obstructions behind the desired location inside the hull.
3. Drill a 5/8” or 16 mm hole through the transom.
4. Route the cable through the transom.
5. On the outside of the hull, secure the cable against the transom using the
included cable clamps. Evenly distribute the clamps between the transducer
and the location where the cable passes through or over the hull and mark
the location with a pencil.
6. At the marked locations, use a 1/8" (3 mm) bit to drill a hole 3/8" (10 mm)
deep.
7. Apply marine sealant to the threads of the 2 #6 x 1/2"
self-tapping screws, position the two cable clamps and
fasten them in place (illustration A).
Skip to #12 if the cable was routed over the transom or a
hole that was already in the hull.
8. If a hole has been drilled in the transom for the cable
pass through, position the clam shell cover over the
cable where it enters the hull and mark the two screw
holes.
9. Use a 3 mm or 1/8" bit to drill a hole 10 mm (3/8") deep.
To prevent drilling too deeply, wrap masking tape
around the bit 10 mm (3/8") from the point of the bit.
10. Fill the remaining space in the hole with marine sealant
(illustration B).
11. Apply marine sealant to the 2 #6 x 1/2" self-tapping
screws and fasten the cable clam shell cover into place
(illustration C).
12. Route the cable to the mounting location of the depth
sounder transducer plug. To reduce electrical
interference, separate the transducer cable from other
electrical wiring. Coil any excess cable and secure it in
place using tie wraps.
13. Lubricate the plug by applying a generous amount of
silicon grease or petroleum jelly to the ridge on the
Display plug (illustration D)
14. Plug the cable into the transducer plug on the depth
sounder.

www.hawkeyeelectronics.com
NOTICE
If you need to increase the length of the transducer cable order part
# 8000-90 from our website or toll free at 888-766-7276. Strip back
the rubber cable cover 1” (28 mm) exposing the three internal wires
(blue, white, and bare) on your transducer. Using a soldering iron,
solder the blue, white and bare wires from the 8000-90 extension cable to the
corresponding wires on your transducer. Using electrical tape, or heat shrink
tubing make certain that the soldered connections are completely sealed and
protected against accidental electrical interference and corrosion. Cutting the
plug off the Digital Depth Sounder display will void the warranty.
STEP 5
Antifouling Paint
Marine growth can accumulate rapidly on the transducer's surface. If the vessel
is left in saltwater for extended periods of time, all components of the transducer
below the waterline must be painted with WATER BASED antifouling paint.
• Never use ketone-based paint, as this type of paint can damage the
transducer's plastic shell.
• Clear, spray-on antifouling paints are very easy to apply and can be
purchased from your local boating supply store.
• Reapply paint as needed to prevent marine growth
STEP 6
Testing and Troubleshooting the Transom Mount Installation
1. Make sure that the display is functioning properly by following the display
testing procedures in the Display Installation and Operation Manual.
2. Place the vessel in the water. Once the display is turned ON, it will display
the test sequence and then display the current depth.
3. Become familiar with the depth sounder’s function and performance at idle
speeds.
4 Gradually increase the boat speed and observe the depth readings (pay
attention to minimum and maximum depth capabilities).
5. If "---" readings appear:
• Check to make sure that the transducer is not "kicked-up". To prevent
damage to the transducer, it will automatically release from the mounting
bracket (kick-up) when it is impacted. If this occurs, refer to Page 4 of this
manual to reset the transducer for normal operation. If this happens
frequently, make sure that the trailer or boat lift bunks do not interfere with
the transducer during loading and unloading.
www.hawkeyeelectronics.com
• Have someone run the boat on plane for you in smooth water.
CAREFULLY look over the transom at the water flowing from the bottom
of the boat over the base of the transducer. The water should be "Clean"
with very little turbulence (air bubbles). If there are any air bubbles or
turbulence seen passing underneath the transducer, move the transducer
farther down on the transom bracket. If the performance does not
improve, move the transducer to "Clean Water" making sure to fill any
unused screw holes with marine sealant.
NOTICE
High Speed performance of the depth sounder may require
extensive adjustment and testing to find the best transducer
mounting location. This transducer has been tested to perform
up to 60 MPH (97 KPH) in an In-Hull application. Not all boat
hull configurations will allow for this type of performance. If you are not
satisfied with the performance of the depth sounder, it is recommended
that you seek the advice of a professional marine electronics installer.
GLUING THE TRANSDUCER IN-HULL
NOTICE:
Please use extreme caution when selecting your
adhesive as the overall performance and enjoyment of
your depth sounder depends heavily on the type of
adhesive you use. USE ONLY A 2-PART, SLOW CURE EPOXY
Tools and Supplies Required
• Plastic Bag
• Petroleum Jelly
• 30 Grit Sandpaper
• 2 Part Epoxy Adhesive
• Tie Wraps
Vessel Hull Types Acceptable for In-Hull Installation
• High speed boats to increase the performance of the depth sounder.
• Trailer boats to prevent accidental damage to the transducer from
trailering.
• Shallow draft boats to prevent accidental damage to the transducer from
intentional or unintentional ground.
• NON-CORED hulls or aluminum hulls thinner than 1/8”.
• Inboard vessels that have a lot of running gear that creates significant
turbulence.
www.hawkeyeelectronics.com
STEP 1
Choosing a Mounting Location
Since the hull absorbs acoustic energy, transmitting
through the hull reduces the transducers
performance. Fiberglass hulls are often reinforced in
places for added strength. These cored areas
contain wood or structural foam which are poor
sound conductors. To achieve optimal performance,
find a location where the hull’s laminate is solid (not
cored).
To obtain the best performance, the transducer
should be mounted in a location where the water flow
beneath the hull is aeration and turbulence-free. Try
to mount the transducer as close to the centerline of
the boat as possible. Consult the boat manufacturer
for the best in-hull transducer placement. If this
information is unavailable, follow the guidelines
below.
A. Outboard, Inboard/Outboard Powerboats -
Install as close to the stern and centerline as
possible.
B. Inboard Powerboats - Install forward of the
propeller(s), shaft(s), and running gear, as
close to the centerline as possible. Keep in
mind that many Ski Boats have fins that you
need to avoid mounting near.
C. Jet Boats - Install forward of the intake grate,
as close to the centerline as possible.
D. Stepped Hulls - Install forward of the step, as
close to the centerline as possible.
E. Sailboats - Install near the centerline of the
hull and forward of the leading edge of the
keel.
F. Personal Watercraft (PWC) - Install forward
of the intake grate, as close to the centerline
as possible (under the engine).
NOTICE:
If your hull is not SOLID fiberglass or up to 1/8th” Aluminum, this
transducer CAN NOT be mounted in-hull. Refer to the Transom
Mounting Instructions, visit our Customer Service Center on our
website, or call 888-766-7276 to inquire about exchanging the transducer.

STEP 2
Test the Selected Location
1. Anchor/Moor the vessel in a body of water away from other boat traffic.
NOTICE:
Turn OFF all other sonar devices on
your boat and locate the vessel at
least 50 feet from the nearest vessel.
2. Plug the transducer cable into the back of the depth
sounder display and turn the display ON. Once the
display is turned ON, it will display the test sequence
and then display the current depth. Make sure the Keel
Offset feature is turned OFF.
3. Place the transducer close to your ear (do not press up
against your ear). If the transducer is properly
connected it will be emitting a ticking sound (similar to a
wrist watch). If you do not hear this ticking sound,
recheck your connections or visit our Customer Service
Center for advanced troubleshooting.
4. Hold the transducer over the side of the vessel so that it
is the same distance below the water surface as it would
be at the in-hull mounting location. Note the depth that is
being displayed on the Depth Sounder.
NOTICE:
Certain environmental conditions may
restrict the performance of the depth
sounder. Extremely dirty water, very
soft bottom, high speeds, deep water, or a
combination of the above will result in incomplete
or inaccurate readings. If “-- -” appears on the
display, relocate the vessel to cleaner water.
