The Garmin Striker Plus 4Cv with Cv20-TM transducer comes with everything you need to install on your boat or on your trolling motor.

I chose it among other reasons for its low profile for my baby bass & crappie boat. (Sundolphin Sportsman 8.5.) Since you shouldn't drill holes in plastic boats I chose to hang it onto my trolling motor. Unfortunately the transducer was a bit too long so I shoved it back against the trolling motor fin which means it was canted to one side. I cleverly shimmed it out with some pieces of rubber and it's halfway vertical anyway. No matter... It still works PERFECTLY.

Not terribly impressed with the bottom map making feature at this point. However the GPS is NEAT for adding waypoints at choice locations. It's been on 3 outings so far and all is el perfecto.

I have been doing depth finders since the days of the spinning fish flashers. Clever users could actually interpret stray flashes as fish. Sort of. I must say...just a few years ago the technology you get in this little package would have cost hundreds more. It's truly amazing!

One thing I did run into...and this may be just my brain...but it has a "day" and "night" mode screen. You'd think day mode would be the choice for the daytime...but it ain't. I could not figger out for the life of my humble self the other day why the screen wouldn't light up. Could barely see it. Finally out of panic and frustration I clicked NIGHT mode and poof...nice bright screen. All they say about looking great in the sun is correct.

I find I tend to run in the legacy mode most of the time. I flip over to ClearVu when something really interesting scrolls by. Fish don't show up nearly as well in ClearVu, but you can get a hugely better idea of the shape of structures down below. It's fascinating. Combined, it's almost wicked, and cheatful, how much info you can glean from the screen.

The other day I saw the crappie... pulled my minner over them and bammo! Again and again and again. That's the power of a great depth finder. Well, unless you don't like cleaning fish.

You'll also find a surface water temp monitor and a battery voltage indicator. Use the indicator! 12.70VPlus and you're fully charged. 12.2V and you are 50%. At 12V you best head for the put in...You are sucking air at 25%. The thing also tells time. Ha! And that's handy. The GPS mph monitor is great as well. On a speed run test I got my Sundolphin up to 2.85mph on the way back to the take out!

Like I say, I bought it for my play boat. For real big boy bass boats you could use it up front for your trolling activities. One of the best toys I have! Get one. You'll be thankin' me!

I mounted this on a sport boat, so a small transom, about 10 inches from the prop, it works up to about 12 MPH and then blanks out, but it does what I need it to, depth finding in the shallows to save my props from damage. It was cheap enough, that I'm willing to overlook a lot, and does what I need to for minimal $$

I have used this unit several times now. Install was easy. The screen is pretty easy to see in the sunlight and overall I am happy with the unit. This fishfinder is small but suits my needs on a little jonboat well. It's a feature packed unit which is good but I have had a heck of a time figuring out how to use them. The directions that come with the unit are install only. It would have been nice to have a tutorial on how to use its many features. I found it's not hard to navigate the features on the fly out on the water but knowing how to use it and knowing what it's seeing is a whole different thing. Trial and error has got me using it more. The internet is full of info on fishfinders and how they work, but a basic tutorial would have saved me hours of frustration. All in all its a great little fishfinder for the money. Just do your research on how to use it or it will end up just being a depth/temperature meter.

It’s my first fish finder and I researched it before I bought it. I can say it has most features the average needs and stands out to be economically cheap based on it functions. It can be easily assembled and doesn't require much training to make preferred settings of your choice to make you fish easy and flexible. The GPS is great and shows speed on the main screen. It even shows the time of day! And the transducer comes with a large suction cup which I attach to the transom of my canoe and it stays on up

Gotcha with the title:-).
It really is a good add to a kayak to know depth and temp. but overall it is a basic finder in terms of today's technology. I give it 5 stars for what it is, I recently replaced my kayak and liked this so well I installed one on my new kayak.

First off this is not a fish finder figuratively speaking this is a fish catcher. I was very skeptical at first to buy. But I was in a jam and needed one ASAP for a fishing tournament. This little beauty works wonders the imagery is sharp the plot Charter is spot-on as well as the waypoints. Put me in the exact spot every time. The screen is larger than I thought it would be. Easy to setup and Peru's menu options. Easy to see in sunlight when it is shining directly on screen no glare. Works just as well in the dark night fishing. Normally I did not use a fishfinder when I went out fishing. I have maybe 7 spots to fish never guaranteed to catch. Now I have over 32 different waypoints each one full of fish. All in all if you are looking for a good fish finder without spending the bank this is definitely it. I have mine mounted on my kayak. And to answer the question yes I did win the tournament 16 fish over the limit thanks to this fish finder.

I purchased this to upgrade grey scale fish finder on my kayak. The mounting is very low profile when you unclip the depth finder and the rotating arm portion. Believe it or not, I have run this for 5 hours on a super light / small 12v drill battery. I mounted the transducer under my seat using packing foam and caulk to basically make a small bathtub which holds the transducer snugly. I was able to map a pond in short order (16ft max depth). You have to play with the zoom feature on the map in order to see the contours. Once zoomed in you can see it in action. The cons of this unit is you cannot download your maps, but for the price that is a small sacrifice. My work around for this- I panned around on the map and took several pictures that I puzzled together to get the whole pond map that uploaded here. I really am impressed with this one!
