I'm still using this setup in 2024 and I still love it
Its a great set up
The instructions for this assembly SUCK! I couldn't have done it without this video. THANKS!!!
I just got this exact unit for Christmas! Thanks for the video showing how to get it all set up! You did a nice job!
Its a great unit i use it in my pirogue and jon boat.
@@TheLouisianaOutdoorExperience I’m going to be using mine in my new Kevlar canoe. Not sure how I’ll set up the transducer. Sounds like I might be able to get a signal through the hull of the canoe instead of over the side?
@@marathonkev yes you can. I tried it on my fiberglass pirougue and it work. I just dont use it that way beacuse normally there is not enough room for everything when I am fishing in it.
@@TheLouisianaOutdoorExperience Awesome! I’ll try it that way to start! 😊. Thanks again!
Thank you for the video! Paper instructions not that good. Would like to see a video of the settings and what not:) Maybe you already have these and if so a link would be great.
I actually havent played with the setting much. I use it mostly for depth and temperature.
Also, I used the holes in the bottom of the big base to route the cables to the battery. Not necessary I don't guess, but it made it a little nicer looking.
QUESTION:
1. Is the bag waterproof
2. Can or will the battery get wet If bag is exposed to water.
I have never had the in the rain in the but ive splashed it and the battery stayed dry. Since this video I actually mounted it in my kayak and the battery is now under the deck in a holder.
@@TheLouisianaOutdoorExperience Oh ok, thank you very much. Good Luck
Thanks for helping me with this as the Garmin instructions are very poor. One question: a small rubber washer comes with the bag containing the transducer hardware...where does it go?
Ill check when I get home and let you know
Came here for the same question haha, any luck figuring that out?
Thanks
What is the 4th screw hole for? I noticed the base would fit on the 3 screw holes you used or it would fit using the screw hole closest to the battery. I couldn't figure out any reason to choose one way over the other
This portable bag can be used with different versions of the Garmin Striker which are larger and use different mounts for the connection.
How you put the unit in the water ?
It has a tranducer that you can attact to a suction cup mount or float. Which is provided in the kit.
How do i get the suction cup to stay in the side of my kayak
Not sure I have never had luck with the suction cup on any surface
nice video
Thanks. I should be making a follow up, I will be using it in my kayak
I like 👍
Did you ever try the suction cup on the side of a boat how well does it hold?
The longest i have had the suction cup stay on was about 10 min. I have tried it on aluminum boat, fiberglass pirogue and on my kayak.
Thats what I'm curious about as well. Just picked up this entire kit for Xmas and having issues with how to level the transducer while attached to the suction cup.
