Great tutorial. I have the Piranha 4 Max which is a bit more basic but has been a game changer for me. I always used to think that the only useful part of having that on a kayak would be the depth but have really found it helps me locate fish at specific depths rather than hunting around all day which is awesome.
Yes, they are definitely a game changer. Thanks for the comment, really appreciate it
Sean, that hummingbird fish finder is going to be a real blessing! Looking forward to seeing you use it in the future. Have a great weekend and enjoy, Rob
Thanks Rob, just tested it out, but looking forward to really digging into the features
Great job installing the fish finder Sean!!! Thanks for sharing this video!!! Happy fishing 👍
You bet, thanks for the comment
Excellent video Sean! Nice gift to get from your employer. You did a great job explaining everything. I like how you improvised hooking up the transducer to the Scotty arm. Well thought out. That's a nice upgrade for the kayak.
Thank you, hoping Kieran gets to use the other one for the first time this weekend
@@AnglingSpiders I'm sure he's excited about having one on his yak. Definitely a game changer.
Probably could have done an entire episode of you cracking into that packaging lol!
Almost made the jump to electronics on the skiff, but didn’t want more distractions since I don’t fish much open water. Very glad to see Kieran is getting set up with that Garmin unit, I bet he’s excited to use it this season.
Great video Sean!
Thanks Joe, yep Kieran will definitely like the level playing field. Should be a lot of fun.
Extremely helpful great video great detail thank you
No problem, thanks for the comment
Nice stuff Sean love the new fish finder. The down imaging will be super nice for you.
Thank you, looking forward to testing it out on a couple of different lakes
20 minute install thats where it's at lol it usually takes me that long to figure out how to open a box!
Lol, well I didn't show that part. Definitely took a lot of time to get the package open
Good electronics help buddy! Can’t wait to see the upcoming videos!
Thanks, looking forward to testing it out
Nice little DIY project. The pike and walleye don't stand a chance. 💪
You got that right! Thanks for the comment
Nice unboxing and install. If you ever decide to upgrade you should look at side imaging.. it's a game changer, especially in a lake.
That is what I hear. My only concern would be how much bigger the unit would be on the yak. If I ever get a boat, I would have side imaging for sure.
Very nice piranha unboxing my brother😊❤
Thank you so much
I also have a MAX4 and absolutely love Scotty. I use then on my kayak and on the canoe! Great video
Just the MAX4, no DI, thought I'd clarify that lol
Thanks, definitely looking forward to seeing what down imaging can do
Very nice review! I am looking at a few of these....not sure what one to get. I sure want one though! Finally catching up on some videos tonight...haha
Looking forward to seeing what you decide to get
Hey Sean, I have the Striker 4 on my Slayer Max and it was a game changer for me being able to find structure, depth breaks, etc. Looking forward to seeing it in action.
Absolutely, we love the Striker 4. Really looking forward to seeing what Down Imaging can do. Thanks for the comment
That looks like a real nice unit.Great video.
Thank you, looking forward to testing out all of its features
Good clean install! The fish are in trouble!
Thank you very much, appreciate it
Just purchased the Garmin Striker 5 DI gps to sit along side my Hummingbird Helix 5 gps. My sole purpose in buying the Garmin was to add DI. Somehow in my research I failed to find this Hummingbird Piranhamax 4 DI. Bummer! Had I found out about it I would have got it instead of the Striker unit. Garmin is OK but I swear by Hummingbird. So much better in all respects. Very informative video. With I had that unit.
Thanks, I am hoping to do a more detailed review once I get out with it a few more times
Is your job hiring… hahaha. I was hooking up my Garmin Striker Four today.. Awesome video mang..
Lol, well I worked there for 25 years to get this unit, but still pretty awesome. Thanks for the comment
the down imaging is awesome! I woulda made kieran use the hand me down as well LOL
Lol, thanks Huy. Really looking forward to exploring the DI features
Wow.. 👍👍
Thank you
Shout out master
Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure
Very nice Sean,, I need to get one for my Kayak. That looks like a good unit. I'll check Amazon
It seems great, we like both it and the Garmin Striker.
Well, I know my next project for my kayak.
No matter what model, they are a game changer.
So funny thing I found a hummingbird piranha 15 at a garage sale for 10.00 brand new in the case lol. I think it’s like 8 years old doing check research. Have you tried that one or used before?? 😮
Not that model, but that is a great find for the price
I wonder if you could use that for ice fishing
I suspect you could, just like the Garmin. Might need to try it out this winter!
Hey that is a nice finder! Hopefully it will help out a lot!!
Already tested it out and it works great, thanks for the comment
thanks for sharing .......
Thanks for watching
Well done my friend 👍
Thank you so much, appreciate it
This video is fantastic, thanks for the help. I just had a couple questions. First, would it be discouraged to use screws with a rubber gasket rather than a bolt? I have a sit-on-top style kayak so it's not really possible for me to access the underside to get a nut on a bolt. Secondly, what size battery did you use to power it? Thanks again!
You might be able to, the other option is self tapping screws. If you do, I would suggest adding some silicone in the hole and around the screw after just to minimize potential for leaks. I am using a standard 12 V lithium battery from Bass Pro.
I think the 3 connections on back of the unit is so you can link another unit to it
Good to know, thanks
Both wire crimps should be red. Blue is for larger wire.
Thanks for the comment. Don’t think it makes a difference if crimped properly. I have been using it for two years and no issues. I would rather be able to differentiate positive and negative
@@AnglingSpiders
if your going to teach. Dont teach wrong.
Other than that.......
Nice vid.
@@staneakins8201 Thanks, appreciate it, but I actually didn't know that so hard to teach what I didn't know. Our channel is about learning as we go so we have made a lot of mistakes over the years. We definitely don't profess to be experts in anything we do.
That is an awesome addition my friend. Piranha Max is a good one.
Thanks, working great so far
Also Garmin 2D display is very cartoonish. Taugh I saw a putty cat! Lol
Yes agreed
I just bought one of the same ones, when I was looking over the instructions it calls for a 1 amp fuse protection, I didn't see you install one. Did I miss something or do you just not use one?
I didn't install one. I have one on our Garmin Striker 4, but decided not to put it on this one. I know it is a risk, but I didn't have one on me and had everything else I needed, I could put one on later. I should have pointed that out. Sorry for the late reply
The middle hole for a plug in the back is for the manufacturer only, so don't try to plug anything into it. It's not used by the customer.
Good to know, thanks
What battery did you use for the fish finder?
Standard marine 12V from Cabelas
It's not picking anything up... It must be broken. That's what happens when you buy stuff from Walmart. 😅
lol
