Depth Finder Addition

   I have a 1993 sport nautique. I bought the hawkeye 2B to mount as a depth finder. One lake in particular in my area really requires it because of the terrain. I searched the forums and some people said to glue it in right behind the ski tow pole. I tired that and it didn't work. I may not have used enough glue in the bottom of the boat to give it good contact. I can try that again, but I wondered if anyone else had a thought or a picture you could share with me.

	I installed a Hawkeye in my 1994 Ski Nautique with good results. The spot I chose was in the starboard side of the bilge, near the side vertical wall. I needed to find water flow that was as smooth as possible for optimum function. The location I chose was not too far from the log, at the approximate spot opposite of the raw water intake. JQ

	It's called the shaft log. Where the shaft comes through the hull.
