User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with a transducer
Answer:	Yes mine came with a transducer. It came with everything needed to set up and be ready to go as if you never had a fish finder before. Although the two wire clamps to hold your cable for the transducer are fragile, I recommend getting new ones
Question:	Does this unit also give depth readings of the water
Answer:	Yes! Depth, temperature, speed you're moving, time of day etc. this is an awesome unit for the price
Question:	does the power source (12 volt i've read) come with the package, or do i need to purchase that

STRIKER 4

3.5-inch CHIRP Fishfinder with GPS.

Navigate Easily with Waypoint Map

Since the STRIKER fishfinder series includes high-sensitivity GPS, you can see your position in relation to waypoints you have marked. Use the waypoint map to easily view, mark and navigate to locations such as brush piles, stumps and docks. It’s also a great tool for finding your way back to the boat ramp.

Check Your Speed on Screen

You can quickly and easily see your boat’s speed on the screen of your STRIKER fishfinder. It’s a great tool to make sure you are trolling at the right speed for the lure you’re using and for a particular fish species. It’s also a good way to tell if you are going the right speed in wake-controlled areas.

Take Your Fishfinder Anywhere

A portable kit is available to protect and carry your STRIKER fishfinder with GPS, so it’s perfect for kayak, canoe or ice fishing. It includes a sealed, rechargeable battery with charger, built-in transducer cable management and storage and suction cup transducer mount and float.

Experience the Clarity of CHIRP

STRIKER 4 fishfinder includes a Garmin CHIRP (77/200 kHz) transducer, which provides a visibly higher level of clarity and detail for fish and structure than traditional 77/200 kHz transducers.

Instead of sending just 1 single frequency, CHIRP sends a continuous sweep of frequencies, ranging from low to high, then interprets them individually upon their return. Since the frequencies provide a wider range of information, CHIRP sonar technology can create crisper fish arches with greater target separation.

You also can upgrade to high-performance Garmin CHIRP technology, which provides crystal-clear sonar images with even more remarkable target separation and resolution from shallow to deeper depths. For better fishing, bottom contours are more visible, even at higher speeds, and signal noise can be suppressed at greater depths to provide a more timely interpretation of what’s below.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work for ice fishing
Answer:	Yes. The transducer is a streamline design meant more to be mounted to a kayak or boat, but it can also be dropping down an ice hole. There is an ice fishing display view

Answer:	No touch screen
Question:	Does unit do side and down image with transducer that comes with it
Answer:	Yes, the side imaging is functional this type of side imaging shows you fish and large features but not Crystal clear images
Question:	What transducer comes with vivid 5cv
Answer:	It came with the 7sv
Question:	i will be installing these in my Toyota scion TC do i need to install these little cross over things or can i rock with out them please help
Answer:	The crossover separates the highs and lows. You can install with out it but it won't sound very good and probably blow the tweeters quickly....and unrelated to your question. I bought these and the Renegade RX6.2C for about the same price. But the Pyle tweeters blew writhing 2 weeks. ( I am running a amplified system) but I'm only pushing about 35-40 watts rms per door. The renegade are still in and working fine. However the Pyle sounded lounder for a while. But ended up dying...
Question:	I might pair these with boss ch6530 chaos series 6.5-inch 3-way speakers. which ones should i put in the front door
Answer:	these will go great in the front door they come with a speaker cover that goes over the dome face, i installed mine without it for aesthetic purposes.
Question:	it states free shipping yet the item was $35.54..yet my total was $44.96 ????? where did the $9.42 go to
Answer:	You have to be careful. I made the same mistake a few years ago on another item. The "FREE SHIPPING" is only if you spend at least $49. You need to add on another item worth $14 or more to get the "FREE SHIPPING".
Question:	will they fit in a Harley davidson sattle bag
Answer:	Absolutely. They're rather slim and 6.5 in wide. The tweeter is separate though.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it come with the fish finder or is it just the bag and other items
Answer:	It comes with everything you need,the bag, the holder,the battery, the charger,the fish finder with gps tracking, and instructions
Question:	Will this unit show bait fish
Answer:	only if there is big schools
Question:	Planning on having this stricly portable from boat to boat, is it easily installed and removed? Or is drilling required
Answer:	I've take one with me up to Alaska for the last 8 years. Setup is about five minutes on the 14' Lunds we rent up there.After the first time, the transducer cable length is established so stuff it in the side pouch at the end of the day. The rest of the cable stays wrapped up on the hanger inside the portable unit.The unit is very stable and sits nicely on the bench in front of me, even in the bumps.I keep a Scotchbrite pad in another pouch on the unit. Scrub a spot on the transom before sticking the suction cup on.I keep some tiewraps in the side pouch. Use a tiewrap to tie off the transducer cable to something on the boat. The suction cup holds up to 20 mph... until it doesn't. Tiewrapping the cable to the boat keeps the transducer out of the prop.
Question:	What does the bundle come with? Battery? Tranduser for ice fishing
Answer:	STRIKER 4 Dual-beam transducer Tilt/swivel mount Portable bag Base/handle Suction cup mount Foam float Kayak In-hull Transducer Mount Power cable Rechargeable battery AC charger Documentation
Question:	Please i need a trasceduser cable replacement. How much will it cost me
Answer:	Usually we didn't sell the transducer alone. If you already bought fish finder from us before, please contact us through amazon message and we will give you the offer for the transducer alone.
Question:	It works in salt water
Answer:	Yes,this Lucky fish finder can work well in salt water. It is suitable for ocean、lakes and rivers. Hope this helps.
Question:	can you mount the transistor in side the kayak
Answer:	Usually people will fix the transducer on the hull of the kayak (the outside). Because the transducer can only be working when it touches the water.
Question:	Does it work well for ice fishing
Answer:	Yes it works well for ice fishing, although you must drop the transducer below the ice in order for it to read depth accurately. I also found that it has the potential to mis-detect large tube jigs as a fish, but I actually don’t mind that as it tells me how deep my bait is. I also use this with my kayak mounted with the bracket, so I get double duty. Battery life is fantastic even in below zero temps. I’ve been out with it on several outings below freezing and I’m still on the same set of batteries! I would recommend this product.
Question:	What's the RMS on these subs
Answer:	I think it’s 1200 but i am not sure. I have four of them running at 2ohms with a planet audio torq 5000.1 amp. One of the loudest trucks in town.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this Garmin fish finder comes installed with maps (Marine maps
Answer:	There is no way to put any maps on this unit but it does have storage to make your own maps. It has a mapping feature so you can map the depths of your favorite lake. The specs says it will hold 1 million acres of lake maps. Granted, you have to be on a boat and troll to do the mapping but it does work and it works rather well.
Question:	For in hull transducer mounts for a fiberglass boat, Garmin suggested putting the transducer in a container full of antifreeze. Any other methods
Answer:	I can’t speak to fiberglass as I use mine on kayak. However I do use my transducer shooting thru hull attached with duct seal that forms a reservoir around transducer and then I add water. That works perfectly! Duct seal is $3 at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
Question:	What's the difference between this and the "garmin striker 4 with transducer, 3.5" gps fishfinder with chirp traditional transducer
Answer:	This one has a feature where you can contour maps the bottom of any lake or river you're in.
Question:	how many holes do i need to drill to install the transducer
Answer:	Don't drill holes in your boat. Find an old 3/8-1/2" plastic cutting board and cut a 4x4 piece out of it and using 3m sticky tape mount it to the transom and use short screws to mount the transducer to the piece of cutting board. Did that back in 1979 and has never come loose.
Question:	Whats the maximun depth that it can read
Answer:	It’s in the description I believe. Otherwise YouTube has this information
Question:	Will this work in shallow waters? What is the minimum depth it will read accurately? Read a review where it was said to lose use under 10 feet
Answer:	I know from experience it can read depths as shallow as 1 foot but I don’t know the exact limitations or specs. The problem that renders this and any fish finder useless in shallow water is the amount of vegetation and its direct proximity. In shallow water with dense vegetation reaching the surface you’re most likely only going to see screen noise displayed which may effect the abilities to properly gauge water depths. If there is no vegetation and the ground is of solid structure then this will work fine in water 10’ or less.
Question:	Can the transducer be mounted on the trolling motor
Answer:	Yes it’s come with all the hardware needed to install you might have to change some things depending on your trolling motor
Question:	Will I be able to see the screen with polarized sunglasses
Answer:	Yes you can because I am using as well the polarized glasses with a light yellow tint

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this also tell you the water depth
Answer:	Yes, it shown water depth and fish depths, fish size..but still not sure about the accuracy of this device..
Question:	How does this connect to phone/tablet: bluetooth or wifi
Answer:	Bluetooth
Question:	There aren't any reviews or questions. Anyone have any pros/cons to offer
Answer:	When fishing through 14 inches of ice this weekend in a narrow 6 inch hole it had some trouble accurately getting readings. I suspect that would be a common issue with flashers through the ice though, next time I will attempt to submerge fully to see if it makes a difference, I was not prepared this time. When Centered in the hole it would work, so I drilled a second hole and let the Garmin freeze in center and all was good.
Question:	Can you do a split screen of the ice flasher and the 2D sonar at the same time
Answer:	No, that is not currently possible. It's one or the other

User questions & answers

Question:	will the included gt54 transducer work on an inboard twin engine boat
Answer:	Sure. I don't see any reason why not. Keep the transducer out of the prop wash as much as possible and follow the directions for mounting it.
Question:	this works as a GPS also correct
Answer:	Yes. Mike, Garmin
Question:	What is roughly the max depth sounding the garmin echomap uhd 94sv will display
Answer:	I've had it out to 600'+ with no issues whatsoever. Believe it's rated at just over 1000' (saltwater). Amazing unit. You won;t be disappointed.
Question:	If you want to install the uhd 94sv in a 32 foot boat, do you have to purchase additional cable
Answer:	I have a 25.5' catamaran and the transducer cable came up 10' short when ran the same way the old transducer was. I ended up having to buy the expensive extension cable.
