I finally broke down and ordered a Garmin Striker vivid 4cv, a 5Ah lithium battery, charger, and a plastic mini ammo can to house/mount everything in my kayak.

 

I'm going to create my own transducer arm out of PVC so I can easily interchange it on all of my kayaks since two of them do not have tracks.

 

Let's just say I hope I'm the one to get that Amazon box before my soon to be wife opens it ?

Got my first sonar a few weeks back....a Garmin unit as well.     Worth every penny, and I'm sure you'll feel the same way.   


Don't let it overwhelm you, or get bogged down in all the features at first is my only advice.    Just cruise around with your new "xray" vision, and get a feel for what structure, baitfish, and Bass look like on the screen.

I got it mostly for finding brush piles for crappie, and redfish/speckled trout in the big lake and rigolets.

When you please give us a review of it…. And how you mounted it to be interchangeable between yaks. My brother in-law has a couple.

Sure thing!  Soon as I gather all my parts on Monday, I'm going to draw up a few plans and start experimenting with a couple ideas.  Shouldn't take more than a day or two.
