HawkEye Portable Fish Finder from a watercraft (kayak specifically) do you have to be stationary to get accurate readings or can you be slow trolling?

While stationary, this finder works really well. It will also work on a slow drift. However, once we started trolling at any speed at all, it did not work too well.

No extras needed, hook up transducer and power the unit to 12V and it is ready to rock, it is a easy fish finder to use.transducer mount is a bit large but it doubles as a trolling motor mount too.They should really have a smaller transom mount, i guess you could add speed but most people have a GPS for speed now days that is way more accurate than the spinning wheel type

I use mine as a speedometer when trolling on my raft. I also mark waypoints for fishing spots. I've been using it for over 2 years on the raft and for hiking. It is holding up nicely.

Most handheld GPS's made now are accurate to within a few yards, sometimes even better than that. For marking ice fishing spots you would not need a fancy one, any handheld unit should work. To keep it working in very cold weather, I suggest lithium batteries, which also last longer.

Fish finder with power cable, transducer, mounts and manuals. If you want to use with Minn Kota trolling motors witch include a transducer you will need an adapter cable. See the Garmin site for the cable to order. I believe you can order without transducer. Check what is included before you order.

I have not used this feature yet but I would think you should need a gps antenna of some sort. There may be a way to connect your gps fish finder.

I attach mine from the side of the kayak and paddle just slow enough that water does not flow over top. trolling at the same time makes it worth it. When I need to paddle faster I pull it inside the kayak first.

I would recommend a cart with a larger wheel base. Even with my kayak unloaded it can be a touch unstable on even normal terrain. A good cart but definitely would recommend a wider based cart for the sun fish

Looking at the list of fish finders that uses this transducer, the X4 portables isn't listed. I recommend looking at the owners manual and transducer itself and try to get a model number. Then use the model number to search for the transducer. or use Lowrance Skimmer and use that list to find the correct transducer for the model of fish finders.

It Slides and the 140 series has an additional telescopic feature. My advice, get yourself a Lawrance or Garmin fishfinder and use this with a portable transducer bracket from Tite-Lok. Alternatively you can get a kit to clamp the transducer onto your electric trolling motor - Garmin do one. Personally,I wouldn't touch the Humminbird, cheap and tacky.

You'll probably have difficulty getting readings. The pin seeker function isn't that accurate. I usually need to estimate what I expect to match the correct yardage. It's more expensive, but the Bushnell Jolt would work better for you. It vibrates when it locks on to the pin. Have two playing partners that use this and works great.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband who uses it on his johnboat. He says you have to have the transducer in the water in order for it to get a read. Hope that helps!

I use mine for Ice fishing and it will shoot through a couple feet of ice but you must put a small amount of water down first. As far as reading in open water, it is gives a very quick and accurate depth but also must come in contact with the water, and I am not sure how it would work while moving.

yes you can make it work but you would have to mount a transducer and carry a battery a much better choice would be a Humminbird Fishing Buddy its all self contained and portable see link. http://www.humminbird.com/Products/110-Fishin-Buddy/

This model is a discontinued GPS only. Transducers to be effective and usable should have the face in the water not inside the hull.

Air gauge won't work on these due to the twist valve. I just go by feel . You'll need to adjust depending on water temp and heat of sun. Its no problem though. I love my boat.very stable...quick set to set up and break down.. its awesone for floating the river. Although its not recommended in the instruction manual. I only recommend securing the seat because if it slides back while on the water its almost impossible to fix. And a non level boat is difficult to row. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Yes, of course you can. I'm using this feature from time to time and it works just fine. The only inconvenience is than I have to check my position periodically because I don't have mount point on my kayak.
