I really appreciate you took the time to make these videos. Took me forever to find someone actually go through the whole process in detail of getting the wiring set up. Planning to set my battery and unit up using these same connections. Keeps things nice and clean. Can't wait to get my Vivid set up.
This is exactly what i wanted to do. Thank you for the detail and for doing this step by step
Great video! I appreciate you taking your time and explaining everything. I feel confident now. Thanks
Awesome video, and you saved me $20 for not having to replace the Cable assembly that came with the Garmin Striker 4. The red lead wire came out of the yellow fuse protector connector. Until you opened up the housing protecting the fuse, I thought I have to replace the entire assembly. Great video, and now I'll buy the quick connects you bought and hook them up to my ammo box containing my battery. Thanks again.
If I didn’t cut the brown and blue end wires and just taped over them while using the proper connections with the white and red. Will that interfere with the fish finder doing its job?
The reason I’m asking is because when I turn mine on traditional I see flat yellow lines not hills and valleys like everyone else. Thanks for any feedback
Great videos man, easy to follow instructions. I'm doing this same setup on my shadow caster and really like how you include the links for the products.
Thanks for the comment, I'm glad it was helpful. I appreciate the feedback!
It was me who had the Heart Attack when i saw you "crimp" with Vice Grips. But thanks for the video... it's better than my Video.
What should be used instead to crimp it the proper way?
@@JJDaBossOutdoors How about Proper Crimpers?
ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=proper+crimpers
Its not what you used its how you used it you are putting weak points in the wire. When joining it the exposed wire doesnt need to be that long i yhink you saw that. remember that is metal your forcing down, over do it and you can damage the wire. its fine hand tight and a slight tug test and if in doubt solder it together or use the low heat solder connecters and a heat gun. Again dont use open flames it burns and make shorts use a heat gun it is about using the right tool for the job the wire cutters are blunt its not that it stoped working replace it with new ones even if cheap or buy proper wire strippers ment for that and the wires you cut off wasnt needed to be just fold them back and electrical tape it when you need it its there instead of cutting the sleeve hoping not to cut into wires and create a short to find the wires again and if you do cut it make the one wire bit longer then the other again preventing shorts if something goes wrong. The fact shrink tube wasnt use is ok you could electrical tape it up inatead of redoing everything also where will the transducer be places or connected to. Im not being mean im trying to help there are better ways to do things and please use the right tools for the job a vice is not the tool to join wires get a solder machine some thin solder with flux included and youtube splicing and soldering wires together the crimps isnt as reliable as solder. Im glad your trying bud alot wont even bother im just trying to let know what i saw and how you can improve. Good luck for the future and hope my advice comes in handy someday.
Thanks for the reply.
Yea man. i've watched some of your videos and it's good stuff!@@weriesblack1375
What type of battery did you use brother? I would like to hook up a fish finder, maybe some lights and possibly a usb charger you think id beable to do that off of one battery.?…
Installing my Garmin fish finder and I ran into these cables for the battery. Can someone tell me what the Blue & Brown cable are for? What do I do with these cables??
Answers please Im installing this right now! 🙏🏼
Nice project! But It will be much better if we can find a way to keep the yellow fuse case inside the battery box, keeping only the black sheath cable outside, because the weakest part of the entire cable are the sides right outside the yellow fuse box.
What was wrong when the unit didn't turn on? The "Heart Attack" moment? I have an identical set up but myunit will not turn on. I have confirmed thst i have 12.6v at the end of the power plug.
Thank you!!!!!
Awesome video! I'm doing the exact setup to the lowrance hook2 5 finder. My setup I have to butt together a fuse protector thats not already connected. I have the fuse connected directly to the battery with a disconnect butt and to the quick connect inside the dry box. I'm not getting power after I added the fuse, any reccomendations? Should the fuse be connected directly to the battery clamp? Any advice would be amazing, thanks man!
Hello, thank you. Where can I find a 4-way splice for the hopkins that you mention at the 17:22 mark of this video?
Still helping people in 4-13-24
And 5/11/24
Thanks
@BFF Outdoors if you wanted to, could you swap out the SLA battery for a Lithium one without having to redo all wiring with different components?
The blue & brown wire that you cut off what r they used for just asking 🤷🏼♂️
Data transfer and receive you have to buy optional equipment to use it
Good for you showing mistakes as well, we all make them. Thanks for the video 👍
Will the blue and the brown cables be used for anything?
Used for data transfer and receive
Just curious what are the blue and Brown wires for? Just bought that same unit! Just hope i don’t screw it up connecting it lol
Honestly I wondered the same thing, however, I have been unable to find a wire diagram or pin-out diagram that shows the purpose of those two wires. I cut mine as you saw in the video and have experience no issues with operations of the fish finder.
The blue/brown wires are used only for Garmin Data Sharing between the Striker and the echoMAP series devices.
@@bigblue3568 actually they will data share to other devices as well, like a more detailed map plotter.

I’ve had my Garmin striker 4 the last 18 months used it twice the connections to the unit corroded first time out all the work l did including the bid and big wast of money is enough to bring tears to any grown man’s eyes
You need to learn how to properly wire the unit.
Mi gps ensiende pero no da señal de mapa
What gauge wire did you use?
Apparently 18 gauge its mentioned before.
Muito bom, mas você cortou o cabo de transmissão de dados
If there is a link to Amazon parts, it will be even better
They make crimping tool for connections
I was just thinking that.
The tool he used as a wire cutter is actually a crimper
Yes it can cut but is a pain to use if dull like this one but not for stripping wires get a proper wire stripper will safe alot of time and effort also dont underestimate the power of a solder joint its way stronger
this is the Plus CV4 which has a bigger screen but lower resolution than the std CV4. Not relevant to your video's intention i know. I use use simple spade connectors to battery in small dry-bag on an inflatable cat with no issues. The two spare wires are for transferring way point data to and from another unit/s.
do I need to waterproof the yellow fuse?
The manufacturer claims that the yellow fuse box is waterproof, but you can never be too careful.
Why does this video seem like a Mirror Image? (ie: Garmin FF & Garmin Box amongst other things are reversed Or is it just my Dyslexia?) Perhaps do the Battery Connection 1st so people understand your choice of connector(s)? Last But Not Least, Vice Grips need Pre-Adjusting to be effective. Good Video nonetheless.
Someone needs to teach this fella how to use wire strippers. Not a vary handy handyman lol.
