GarminStriker 4 with Transducer, 3.5" GPS Fishfinder with Chirp Traditional Transducer Bundle with ExpertPower 12V 7 Amp EXP1270 Rechargeable Lead Acid Battery

Easy to install and great for a small fishing boat

Best depth finder for a kayak. I mounted the transducer through the hull using "duct seal" and it works perfect. Couldn't be happier!. Display is bright even in full sun. Holds the bottom reading accurately. Right to the inch. I put it in our pool. I measured it with a tape measure at 3 ft 8 in. The depth finder read 3.7 ft. Wow!. Can't get any better then that. Plus a ton of adjustable options and navigation waypoints. That will take me some time to learn how to use this machine to the full.

Easy to use

Update: upgraded from 3 stars to 4 stars. Would be 5 stars, but I have to keep one star off for having had to go through an exchange. My original unit from Amazon was defective and had power issues. After a couple of weeks of emails with Garmin and attempts to troubleshoot--including them sending me a new power cable--Garmin did an RMA exchange and sent me a new unit. I took it out today, no power issues whatsoever, and it worked flawlessly. It's nice to know that Garmin does stand behind its product. See below for the actual review.--- --- --- ---Lots of features in such an affordable package. I can't imaging boating without it--and I don't even fish. The GPS is useful and very flexible. I use the GPS track feature to map the perimeter of the lakes, which is super nice to have since these cheap fishfinders don't have charts. I do a lot of birding photography, and this is perfect for mapping my favorite birds. The sonar also gives me a good idea of where birds might hunt for fish, so I mark dense fishing areas on the GPS, too. For a while, my boat's speedometer was clogged, so it's nice to have reliable GPS speed on this unit, too. Other than being useful for discovering potential hunting hotspots used by birds, I use the sonar to keep my boat out of trouble in shallow waters. It is so nice to be able to see what's under the boat and to tell how deep the water is. I probably wouldn't be as concerned if I had an aluminum bottom boat, but I have a fiberglass hull--those are not meant to take a pounding, so I steer clear of shallows by setting depth alarms. If I had to do it all over again on the same budget--power issues notwithstanding--I would definitely buy this. Now that I have had a taste, I do wish I sprang a little more cash for a Plus CV unit for the contour mapping feature and for the clear vu radar, which looks pretty nice. And, my dream unit is one of those echomap units because they come with charts and have all the features of the striker series, but I'm just doing lake boating, so I don't really *neeeeeed* charts other than for the satisfaction of knowing I could have them. Anyway, I fully recommend this product for anyone with a powerboat, and I am sure I would be just as useful for people who do kayaking, too.

Works as expected!

Product is what I was expecting. Shipping on the other hand was not what was shown at checkout. Item was supposed to be delivered 3 days after it was ordered, ended up not even being shipped until the day before it was scheduled to arrive. Ended up being 5 days later than the date shown at checkout. Sold by Amazon, and showed in stock but very slow on the shipping after the order was placed.

Easy to install on pontoon boat. Easy to use. Excellent GPS. Water depth, surface temp, boat speed and time of day displayed in upper left of screen. Zoom feature/split screen is excellent!

Makes me laugh seeing folks shell out $3-4k on big screen sonars when you just need to enjoy the outdoors and catch fish the most straightforward way possible. Easy to install and set up, just need a 12 volt marine deep cycle battery (recommend Lithium for lighter weight if you can spend the $) and it'll run for days. Highly recommend this for people looking for a simple fish finder setup that don't want to break the bank!

Very simple, it’s great and less expensive than anywhere

Buen producto

Tudo nos conformes. Depois de comprar fiquei com dúvida, tem descrição errada do produto, achei que tinha comprado com a tela maior.

I didn’t like this product and I have to return it back. Please help me to return it

The product is fine but we got caught out with a large customs bill as it came from France. Will avoid European sellers in future
