Transducer Exchange
While the transducer provided with your HawkEye® depth finder is suitable for most vessels, we have made it convenient and effortless for you to upgrade to a transducer that is finely tuned for your specific vessel. Our upgrades include high-power, ultra-sensitive AIRMAR® Transom Mount, Thru-Hull, and Glue-In Transducers.
Includes shipping return label to ship back your exchange.

things to consider
- It's crucial to choose a transducer that is compatible with your display. Depth Finder Displays without a temperature feature have a 2-pin connector on the display transducer harness, whereas displays equipped with a temperature feature have a 4-pin connector. These types are not interchangeable and cannot work with each other.
- Due to external logistical challenges, we are unable to facilitate transducer replacements outside of the Continental United States. For exchanges outside the Continental United States, we kindly request you to initiate a support ticket by Clicking Here. Our technical support team would be happy to discuss your exchange options
- Don't forget to either PRINT these instructions or EMAIL them to yourself for ease of reference during the exchange process.

exchange options
A wide range of transducers designed to suit various boat types and requirements are available for HawkEye® Boat Mount Depth Finders. These transducers come with diverse mounting options such as transom mount, in-hull, or thru-hull, and offer features like depth detection and temperature measurement. Keep in mind, it's critical to ensure the chosen transducer is compatible with your specific display and boat model.
For example, some transducers come with a 2-pin connector, designed for models that don't include a temperature feature, while others feature a 4-pin connector for models with a temperature feature. These two types are not interchangeable.
***Glue-In Transducers are only suitable for non-temperature depth finder models.***
The Exchange Process
Choose A
Transducer
Choose between a Non-Temperature or Temperature Transducer to match your depth sounder display and add the transducer of choice to your cart. Upon checkout you will receive a return label via email from Stamps.com. Print it out and hold onto it. You'll need it in step 3.
***Please Note: An automatic "Core-Charge" of $50.00 for the return of the transducer will be added to your cart. Any orders placed without including this core charge will be automatically canceled.***

a note about the "core Charge"
If you do not want to pay a Core Charge, we offer the following options:

- Contact your local marine dealer or marine store and purchase your desired transducer. No refund for the original transducer will be given.
IF YOU DELETE THE CORE CHARGE FROM YOUR CART, YOUR ORDER WILL BE CANCELED AND REFUNDED.
Super easy.
I’m running a small boat and the dash is not friendly with exchanging gauges. This fit the bill as being able to adding to existing setup. I did get a separate dash mount to hold and love the set up
The address on the invoice didn't work. Spent $15.50 to have the transducer come back, undeliverable by USPS. Very frustrating.
Easy installation, have not tested yet, but should work great.
My Transducer exchange went smoothly, received my deposit back as soon as they received the return.
