Thread: garmin striker

If it was me, I would spend a little more and get the echomap 73sv with chirp. You may be okay with the striker but I wasn't. Talked to garmin several times and just couldn't get the detail I was looking for with the striker compared to the echomap series. There is only a couple hundred dollars difference in the echomap and striker and personally don't think there is any comparison.

Thanks Timy

I am working with Garmin right now to try and resolve the issue. They are great folks. I may have a bad unit. I sent photos to them and they said there is an issue so I will update you when we get it worked out

I have a echomap 73sv at the console with a transom mount transducer and a striker 7cv on the TM. There is no comparison in the detail with the echomap beating the Striker hands down. Working with Garmin right now to find out why. They say it could be the transducer is not strong enough to produce the signal the Striker needs for clear detail.

That's basically what they told me and are sending an upgraded transducer. We will see if it works

Please let me know because they haven't offered to send me an upgraded transducer. Still working on it tho...

will do

I am using a echomap 73sv. I have trouble seeing thew ClearVu screen in bright sunlight but that would be my only complaint. I have tried all the different color Pallets and have settled on black/emerald
