Greetings, which size is best for Kayak, wonder if it is compatible with RAM mounts for Kayak or if garmin has there own accessories for Kayak?

So with the big step having gps as standard. no really need for the echomaps than, unless for (livescope)

I’m caught up between the original 7sv or the vivid 7sv which one is better?thx

I have a Striker 7SV fish finder, the unit previous to the Vivid series. It looks like they are very similar with the exception of the Active Captain feature. Are there any other differences? I love it, by the way!

I just bought a 7cv and have a problem with it. The boat that I bought it for is a Twintroller first can’t figure how to get the maps to work and when I’m on the lake and push my pedal to move I get a really bad feed back on the screen with only the sonar screen. I hav done research but I have tried several different things. Like moving my transducer around and even when out and got a separate battery just for it and still got nowhere. I have a small lake that I’m using and can’t use a gas motor on this lake electric only. This summer when I go to a bigger lake I use my gas motor on it but I would like to still motor around on the electric but even with a light touch for sterling the boat around that feed back pops up and vertically cant see anything but lines.

@GarminRetailTraining

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your questions. The Striker units are fishfinders, and do not have mapping. However, the Striker Vivid's do have Quickdraw capabilities allowing you to create your own maps with 1-foot contours. The ECHOMAP series are chartplotter/fishfinder combos that come preloaded with mapping. The 45cv specifically is preloaded with Canada LakeVu G3 mapping.

Is it rain proof??

did you try it at a depth of 200 meters what are the results

PS: I did just purchase a Garmin Striker 5cv vivid. I'll use it for DI fish/structure location. I'll use my Hummingbird for Navigation. Also the display on the CV display was very clear and I couldn't find a Hummingbird with DI. The negative on the garmin is the 2D sonar. Very Cartoonish. Update: Have put my Garmin up for sale.

For the STRIKER Vivid 7" and 9" units, you have a choice between the GT20-TM Transducer (CLEARVU and TRADITIONAL CHIRP) and the GT52HW-TM (SIDEVU, CLEARVU AND TRADITIONAL CHIRP). Below are the links to both transducers that provide the maximum depth info based on which view you are using. Just click on the "specs" tab.
