Thanks for taking the time to make this consumer based review, it helped convince me to make the purchase. Last night was the first test drive with the new toy and it's proven worthy on day one. Nice largemouth bass you caught in the vid. Cheers.

Thank You, I have this fish finder, and watched your video to learn more about it. Appreciate your clear, honest review.

Thank you for this review and walking through the different options! Just ordered one of these.

Thx for the video. Great how you showed it in use. Ordered one becuase my Hook2 4x gps has been flaking out on me. Gratz on the PB!

Thank you very much I’m glad you enjoyed the video. As I was trying to decide if I was going to get another 4cv plus versus the Vivid I could not find any consumer reviews so after I got mine I figured I would do one. This new transducer seems to work extremely well and I am very impressed with the images I am getting in the ice blue color. I have not even used all the color palette yet and on my second trip I lowered the transducer down a little bit and now I am getting a very solid picture and depth reading at 39.5 mph which I am very impressed with. Yesterday I found where the fish have been hiding at Lake Mead this winter thanks to this Striker Vivid.

Before I buy any product I lose a lot of sleep doing tons of research and through my experience with other brands I firmly believe this is a solid choice. Again thank you for watching the video

Thanks for this review. Getting ready to pull the trigger on my first fish finder. Was looking at the 4cv, but you may have just sold me on the Vivid. Nice smallmouth, BTW!

Thanks for the video. I've been wanting a fish finder for my kayak. I liked the Garmin Striker series, but didn't want to buy until they produced a newer model. Now I'm thinking the Striker Vivid 5cv is the one for me.

Any info on the dimensions of the transducer? I'd like to get this unit but want to see if the transducer will fit the recessed mount on the hull of my kayak.

Thank you for watching. Are you speaking of the bracket mount or the transducer itself?

Can you do the contour mapping as you use the rest of the functions on the unit like sonar readings etc? I wasn’t clear on that. Looks good though.

can i power this on my 12v trolling motor battery ? whats the cable power like? ill just make one if dont have like a cable..also whats the data wires on the cable for? i just want to power it up because ill use it for a kayak thanks

Thank you for watching. Yes you can use your 12v trolling battery it uses very little energy. Also I am plan to call Garmin today to verify if the data cable works on this unit or is that just a standard wire harness they use. The cable is about 15ft or more. I have a 15’5” Glastron V156 and it makes it to the console with plenty of cable left. So far I am very pleased with the unit.

Thank you for watching. I’m sure you could but then you would only get readings from one side of your boat. I guess it would be like a one-way side scan in a sense.

How big is the transducer ? Did you transom mount it or mount it on the trolling motor? I hear there’s an issue mounting to trolling motors (doesn’t fit)
