Thanks for this… just found a used one for 90 bucks and to get started I think I’m going to try this unit for my kayak and fishing at the crappie house
Wow! I saw another UA-cam fisherman using this and I had to learn more about it. I have the Striker 4 and I HATE that I don't have a true map function. I love that this will create a map for you the more you use it. That's amazing. Is it ALWAYS creating that map for you, or do you have to be in that setting for it to create it? Basically, if I'm just using 2D imaging, will the map be created for me when I switch over to the waypoint map? For $60 or $80 more, this may be worth the upgrade for me.
Hello, yes you have to turn on the “QuickDraw” mapping. As you drive around it will create that contour map for you to reference and overlay your waypoints.
If I had to mount this on the transom of my sib , would the supplied mount be able to swivel up enough to enable me to view the screen ? I ask as most vids have these mounted on a horizontal surface and not a verticle one.
I fish inshore saltwater with big tide depth changes. Can you make 2 QuickDraw maps of the same area, one for high tide and one for low? Or will a new map write over the original.
@@goodmanfishing Thank you for the lightning fast response. That's pretty much what I figured. I will map it at high tide and subtract about 7 feet at low tide. Actually, I have done some more research and they have an offset feature where you can compensate for changes in water depth for lakes that change with rain and water release from dams. The challenge for me is that the tides move so quickly that changes in contour will appear to be far more pronounced than they actually are unless I map an area very quickly. Fantastic video!
It comes with a base that can be screwed down but no track mount. I use this Scott mount that comes with a track section for my 93SV Scotty Mount #141 Kayak Transducer Installation - #367 Fish Finder Mount - Garmin 93SV GT54 GT56 ua-cam.com/video/WEdnIilKn_U/v-deo.html

Sounds like a deal!
Just got one for my new stand on kayak very excited 🤙🏼
Very nice!

@@goodmanfishing Thanks for the quick response.
Thanks. Helpful. Informative. This is the unit I will most likely purchase.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for sharing
Thought about this maybe for my kayak 👍🏼🔥
Great option! 👍
Can this work for ice fishing Aswell?

I think I would need to see a picture of what you are trying to mount it to. The cradle on the garmin has a pretty high degree of rotation available.
Great info. Thank you for sharing.
Glad to help!
Thanks for the vid. The music is really distracting though.
Thanks for the input!
hey there how well does it do in deep waters. Say 80ft plus?
I fish inshore saltwater with big tide depth changes. Can you make 2 QuickDraw maps of the same area, one for high tide and one for low? Or will a new map write over the original.
I don't believe that is an option for any of the quick draw mapping, unfortunately.

What do you think about using it as a straight gps for a jet ski?
There are no preloaded maps, so that might it difficult to use for navigation
Does the Quick Draw function work while also using the sonar?
Yes it does, it can run in the background 👍
@@goodmanfishing thank you! Nobody mentioned that in the videos I watched.
is there a setup that can face in front of the boat to see structure before you run over it if pulling a net?
You would need a form of forward facing sonar for that
Does it work for ocean fishing?
It will work just fine 👍
Hello does it read bottom and depth when moving around ?
Yes it does 👍
@@goodmanfishing thank you.
Not if you’re moving at a fast clip. I love mine but there’s limits. Transducer is mounted to the port stern.
What's the best battery for GARMIN STRIKER 4cv Sir?
It does not take very much to run one. A small sealed lead acid will do it, there's one linked in the video description.
@@goodmanfishing Thank you Sir.
Can it show the trolling speed of my Minnkota Powerdrive ?
It uses the GPS to display speed 🤙
Does it come with a track mount
It comes with a base that can be screwed down but no track mount.
I use this Scott mount that comes with a track section for my 93SV
