I've been searching TH-cam for two days now just to find any video that shows how to hookup a fish finder to a battery. Finally found your video with the exact fish finder and battery I have, thank you so much for the video!!!
Glad this helped....wish it was better quality, but gets the point across.....enjoy your fish finder and good luck
@@1Cast1Fish It helped a ton, very simple stuff but seems like a lot more when you don't know what you're doing. thanks again
Glad it was helpful...thats what these videos are for.
Just what I was looking for. Very informative and clearly demonstrated. I know nothing about electrical stuff. Thanks much.
Setup my Striker 4 with the Nocqua 10 ah battery today. Got the float tube strap to mount the Striker as well and hooked it all up and did a test at the lake. I literally watched all the videos to learn how to use the unit and you did an AMAZING job in getting me up to speed. All worked perfectly. Just wanted to say thanks for helping me gear up and be ready for all of the big honkin trout I am going to catch this summer! If you are ever in Utah, hit me up. I'll take you to catch some big browns!
Awesome to hear you got everything setup and running...and glad these videos have helped along the way. Good luck out there
Just got our fish finder second hand and couldn't figure out how the lines worked. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Followed your instructions to a t and now I'm an electrician lol Even did some troubleshooting and replaced a blown inline fuse. Thanks, bud!
Glad it helped...love seeing that
Thank you so much for this video! I bought my wife a Striker 4 and was mystified when it came without a power source. I bought the Nocqua battery and followed your video step by step - success!
Its a great little battery, sure you will love it for many years
Thanks for the video - this is super helpful. What do you do with the extra brown and blue wires coming out of the Garmin Striker 4? Can I just seal them in the heat shrink tubing?
The brown and blue wire are not needed. You can cut them off or seal them in the shrink tube.
Hope this video helped you out...be sure to Subscribe for more great how to and fishing videos.
@@1Cast1Fish what are brown and blue wire used for ?
Great video, thanks for making it. Does the Nocqua installation kit come as standard with the Nocqua battery? and what are the other two lo0se wires on the Garmin power cable for? Should they be just cut off or maybe handy in future? Thanks.
The Pro Power Kit comes with everything you need for install. The extra wires are communication wires for wiring 2 Strikers together to share things like waypoints.
@@1Cast1Fish ahh cool , so they dont need to be cut off? thanks so much for the video? im pretty surprised the striker vivid didnt come with any instruction manual for the power, it only came with instructins for the transducer
Just picked up the exact same setup. Thanks for uploading! You got yourself a subscriber
Glad you enjoyed...you got yourself a great product IMO...thanks you for hitting that sub button...hope to bring more great content for you to enjoy.
What about the other two wires that are coming off of the battery line? Do you just put those to the side? Or seal them up?
You can do either...they are for communication between 2 units.
@@1Cast1Fish Thank you!
Your welcome
Thanks for getting back on my question.
Not a problem, glad I could help...If you have any other questions feel free to ask. Also be sure to check out my other content and share.
Mine came with a red and white wire leads, can I still connect to red and black on the Garmin cable or do I need to send it back?
I would call the manufacturer, I would hate to give you the wrong advice without seeing it.
@@1Cast1Fish I called them and apparently something happened during production with wrong outer color coating but they said it won’t matter. It’s wired up and working solid. So if anyone has the same issue, it’s good to go. Also, thanks for the great instructions, simple and flawless.
Awesome to hear, glad it’s up and running. This is the first I have heard of the wire being a different color. Curious what model it was?
@@1Cast1Fish it was just the standard 4.4 model
What do you do with the other wires on the power cable?
I just left them snipped, a light coat of liquid electrical tape protects the ends on mine. The Blue extra wire is a communication wire, used to share info between to units.
Where did you find the transducer arm to hook to the kayak?
I mounted my transducer inside the kayak hull
Would you recommend twisting the wiring for a more secure connection?
The supplied crimps seem to have held up just fine...not sure if twisting would be better or help.
Excellent - juts got my Garmin and Nocqua battery - nice video and very clear instructions
Awesome...you will love them
How is the battery holding up any issues?
Mine is going strong without issues
Hey what's going on boss, we talked in another one of your videos. I went ahead and bought the Nocqua battery and a Striker Pro 4 CV. I'm currently wiring the power cables and I have a question, what are the blue and brown cables for? Will I need to use these or do I nearly tuck them away when I seal things up? Thanks for that you do!
Those are for communication...like linking 2 units together. Probably won't be needing them, and if you do want to link units together, I would go a different route than the Striker 4.
@@1Cast1Fish Thanks for the reply! Gotcha! I went ahead and tested the ClearVue feature and man what a game changer that is!
It is surprisingly good at the price point, very clear.
Has the nocqua battery still been good after a year of use? Worth the money?
Worth every penny IMO. Especially with the Y connector and USB adaptor. I run my fish finder, can charge my phone, and keep my GoPro charged all day....al at one time. It is super light and easy to use as well
I have the same unit on my kayak. The only potential issue I see is that the wires that connect to the battery (red black) are very thin. I think around 20ga. In the long run, putting on/pulling off those wires from the battery will weaken them. Any thoughts?
They are a bit thin....check out the Nocqua battery I use in my other videos....they make connection super easy.
Did the heat shrink and connectors come with the batter or the garmin?
It came with the battery, plus I had some laying around.
I got the same set up. Just curious what to do with the blue and brown cables. I looked up the Garmin manual and it says they’re for data sharing but I can’t find how to use them exactly.
Is for sharing the gps location to vhf radio, so if you push the distress button, it send your position for emergency
Thanks for this! Simple and easy.
Glad it was helpful
i used one of these and they work flawlessly. i just wish i had the 4plus for mapping/charting. if i was to do it again i would get the striker 4plus
You and me both....the Plus is a really great value
how much time do you get out of the 10ah battery. I'm looking at the same setup and wondering if i'll get a full 6 or 7 hour day out of the 4.4ah battery. Doing the math says i'll get a little over 9 hours..but real life is a different story. Thanks for the great vid!
Be sure to subscribe...I will be doing a draw down test video in the next week or 2...I have yet to run out of battery in a day on the water...but i plan on testing how long it will really last...stay tuned.
Great video - I used it to put mine together. Do you place the battery in a box or loose inside the kayak? Your recommendation?
With the Nocqua battery I actually have a small bungee in the middle console that hold sit in place. I see a lot of people use Velcro to hold the battery pouch in place.
@@1Cast1Fish thanks
Do you need to disconnect fish finder everytime you charge or can you plug the battery charger in while fish finder is still on battery?
You can charge the battery with it still attached....I recommend turning the unit off if you plan to charge the batteries with it attached.
Excellent video. Thank you very much.
Glad it helped
How many mah did you use? 4.4 or the 10 mah? And how long does the charge last?
I use the 10Ah Battery...I did a drawdown test on the battery here th-cam.com/video/1ExYJK0zkYk/w-d-xo.html Be sure to hit the Subscribe button, I have more useful kayak, fishfinder, ect stuff coming this year
Great video. Perfect explanation.
Awesome and glad you found it helpful...be sure to subscribe and check out some more of my videos on the Striker 4
Great video! much needed info. Thanks
Thomas Smith Glad you found the information helpful.
Can you split it to make a 3 way to power a light as well ? How would you do that?
The Nocqua Pro Power battery does offer a 3 way adapter which I use....its like 15 or 20, but is easy to use. I use it to power my fish finder and Gopro at the same time. They have a lot of adaptors that are pretty nice, check out there website.
Thanks for the video!!
No problem!
thanks for making this video! it helped with my install of the Nocqua 20Ah battery and Garmin Striker Vivid 4cv on the Big Fish 108 kayak. good stuff! 👍
Glad it helped, good luck this year
Thank You ! Great Job !!!!
Thank you too!
thank you!!
You're welcome!
Where can I buy magnet for this transducer for easily removal. I will use garmin striker 4
Not sure, I have never used or tried a magnet
Can i put it in a duct seal and just put it on the floor of my wooden boat? Possible working?
Honestly I’m not sure on that one. Wood is porous and thicker…it may have issues.
Do you run the 2.2 or 4.4 Amp Nocqua battery? Thanks. Looks like a great battery!
This is the Nocqua Pro Power Kit 10Ah battery...It is a great battery, I will run my fish finder & action cam all day (12+ hours) without issue.
I will be doing a video soon of the Striker 4 & Nocqua battery install on my Jackson Coosa HD here soon...so stay tuned and be sure to like and subscribe.
do I need to waterproof the yellow fuse?
They seal up pretty good, so no issues so far for me. I would not put it somewhere where it will be soaked in water all day, but I have had no issues with rain.
perfect thanks!
No problem
what do u do with the blue and brown wire ?
Communication wires, not really needed for 99.9% of installs
What is the exact name of those connectors? I bought the garmin 4 but it did not come with them
The connectors are part of the Nocqua Pro Power Kit battery setup, they came with the battery, not the fish finder.
Thanks, i figured it out, got my female disconects, and 12v 7ah lead sealed battery, tupperwear container and used the ziptie they give and made a floating transducer mount by cutting a circle out of a foam gardening nealing pad and zip tieing it. Connect positive first , then negative for those who dont know, and when removing negative then positive. Hope that helps somone out there who is ileterate as me when it comes to this stuff :) then screen is really nice and bright, thanks for showing me how to set up the sonar with or without the fish symbols and all of that.
Glad you got it figured out, I like the floating transducer mount idea
Good info
So do I need the y connector to do this ?
Only if you want to run multiple items off the same battery
What are the brown and blue wires for?
They are communication wires...not needed for 99.9% of installs
@@1Cast1Fish so I just got this set up and watched your video that was my question on those blue and brown wires. So what did you do with them? Did you just electric tape them up? Put electric tape around the tips?
@@1Cast1Fish after thinking about it do you just put wire connectors on them and I've seen people electric tape it all up with the yellow fuse
A dab of liquid electrical tape does wonders.
@@1Cast1Fish perfect thank you!
Hi , where can i get battery for the garmin sticker 4?
Check out the links in the description for the Nocqua Pro Power Kit Battery I use....its 10Ah and lasts a long time.
Thank you! That was great.
