Hawkeye Portable Fish Finder: Can this fish finder withstand very high temperatures?

I do not know the max temperature, but some reviews said it shut down on them on hot days if it was in direct sunlight. When they covere it with a towel, it worked okay. I also read it is not waterprrof, and shuts down below freezing.

it heats perfect in my 15 gallon tank and the temp reading is accurate because I have two temp gauges. Don't want the tank to get to hot and kill my fish.

I would say yes. Although I have blackened fish indoors, I have never used it in such a way. If your concern is the fish, I think it would be excellent (maybe even do a whole side). If your concern is heat tolerance, the iron that this is made of is definitely thicker and heavier than what most grills' burners or grates are constructed of. I want to say propane grills can hit 500-600 degrees tops, and I have a feeling that wouldn't touch this.

I don't fly fish and I am not familiar with the term "identifying bug life". So I am unable to answers this question directly. I use it in my work to spot small labels on merchandise which is stored in overhead racks 30 ft above the floor. It is a very good product.

This was a gift to my nephew who is a commercial fisherman in Oregon. He loves the unit. I have forwarded your inquiry to him. Will let you know what he says.

My understanding is that the device maintains water temperature just above freezing. My ducks drink from it all the time. I do not believe the device presents a thermal danger to any animal using it.

IR and thermometer in water both confirm 130 degrees F. This is not a safe temperature to hold foods of any type. Haven't decided whether it goes in the garage to warm stuff or the trash.

Mine is the same,I have not had any issues with it and have caught some nice fish,tuna up to 25kgs dolphin fish to14kgs.I think it is designed that way to allow for wear over time?

I don't use a fish finder. You will have to have a decent size deep cell battery. Im sure a fish finder would work fine off of it too.

Great idea! It would be excellent for kayak fishing. Has everything built into a compact case. Fish finder, surface temperature, gps, compass, and chart plotter.

I really can't answer as I keep it in the back of my Ford Ranger Pickup. I have enjoyed it the few times I have used it but the water temp in only 41 so we will wait a little while longer. Good luck fishing.

The tip of the thermister is stainless steel so it shouldn't rust or bother the fish.

It reaches a degree not over 80 degrees . If it gets to warm or hot you can always just unplug it and plug it in again when it gets cold. Buy a fish tank Thermometer just to be safe.

Never had a problem when the temp. was below 30degs.Lost my last one while ducking hunting, temp was around 30, water temp was cold, ice on surface in areas. I did not dive in after it, ordered another one.

We've been using them to filter our outdoor goldfish/coy pond for about 6 month. Works pretty good except when it gets hot out. Don't know if anything can keep up with the alge then.

I asked my husband your question since it's actually his fish finder. He's only used it twice so far at two different sized lakes and he pointed out two things, he hasn't fished for bass (mainly trout) and he hasn't actually tried to pick up a jig 30 feet below the boat. At first he didn't think it would pick it up but he doesn't have anything to back up that theory so he couldn't say either way...sorry...
