Thread: anyone tried the Garmin Striker 4 Bbuilt-in GPS Fish Finder

I use a Gen 1 echo 100 with out GPS to run my outboard. At wot I have never washed it out. I payed 60$ for this unit @ the bargain bin @ Cabelas. For contours you are gonna love it.

I really like Garmin products and use them every day but, that screen size is simply way too small for my old eyes.

I'm using the Garmin echoMAP 43dv on my kayak. Similar size and also from Garmin. I love it.

Fishing man, I don't know about the Garmin..but I did buy about the same battery in a waterproof box with a charger for $39.99 at Academy last week. (link below) I think you are supposed to charge those batteries real slow and I did not have what I felt like was the right charger. I rigged it up on my kayak along with my Humminbird. I tried it out Saturday for a little while. Have you picked up a new kayak yet? Sounds like you are rigging it up or getting ready to rig.

Not sure about that unit but I have the striker 7SV and its a great unit. I have a Lowrance elite 7 GPS at the console so i just got the chart plotter for the bow. From what i can tell comparing waypoints from my Lowrance to the Garmin they are very close. Also all the units I have had on different boats Garmin is definitely the best returns from sonar/downscan/sidescan.
