Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Ideal for power boaters and sailors, the Norcross Hawkeye DF1000D Depth Sounder delivers instant depth updates to help keep you safe in the water. Featuring auto-ranging and auto-sensitivity features, the DF1000D gives precise depth readings (in feet or meters) from 2.5 to 200 feet at speeds up to 63 miles per hour. It also incorporates an advanced three-stage depth alarm warning system with programmable shallow and deep water alarms, while the "Keel-Offset" function allows readings to be adjusted for vessel draft.

Today's high-tech, multipurpose depth sounders and fish finders are designed to produce a range of readings, from bottom contour, fish location, and thermoclines, to a variety of other useful sonar data. However, the technology used to decipher between these different signals, coupled with the configuration of their specialized transducers, greatly reduces their ability to give instant bottom readings while on plane. The DF1000D, on the other hand, gives you reliable reading while you're running your boat. Its easy touch, algorithmic, digital programming, waterproof front face, and large, 1.65 x 0.85-inch, illuminated display give you everything you need to make each trip safe and productive. For added convenience, the included transducer can be transom-mounted or glued in.

The DF1000D comes with a two year warranty.

I fought with a Humminbird 600 for years trying to get it to read consistently. I finally gave up and bought this unit. It works 100% of the time and updates while you are underway.

Pros: you can read it w/ polarized sunglasses (unlike the Humminbird); contains hardware for both in-the-hull or transom mount (the Humminbird you have to buy one model for either); large digits.

Cons: It only goes to 199 feet, so if you want to anchor and you are in over 200 feet, you have no idea if you have enough anchor line -- although in inland lakes I have never been in that situation. It doesn't include a chrome bezel, but you can buy one from the Norcross site for $15.

Buy it! It is a very solid unit. I couldn't be happier. In my application I'm shooting thru the hull of a fiberglass boat. The puck is held with Devcon 2-ton slow cure epoxy.

Large easy to read digits. Accurate even at fast speeds. The position of the transducer was more critical than anticipated. Tried the in-hull mounting option and couldn't get a reading. Mounted the tansducer on the transom and initially only got readings at slow speeds. The kit comes with angled shims to achieve the exact angle required. Once I found the sweet spot it worked like a charm. The first unit I received was defective, however customer service was exceptional and had me a new unit in no time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy installation, August 28, 2009

I purchased this unit for our Moomba Outback boat. I found that the installation was straightforward and easy. I drilled a 2 inch hole with a hole saw beside the ignition switch to mount the unit. I attached clips to the power wires and plugged them onto the dash circuit board so that an unused accessory switch operates the unit. I used a fish wire to run the transducer lead through an existing hole in the floor (near the driver's feet)and then duct taped the transducer to the inside of the fiberglass hull underneath the front of the engine. The unit worked perfectly as soon as I launched the boat and continued to work well at any speed. I have not yet glued the transducer to the hull but plan to do so soon.
