I don't even have one but thank you for the information

[@wendellfishing]

Thanks boss!

[@rayphillips4775]

I just bought one today. Going out in the morning. Thank you for the info. I must say though, you have screwed me up for life! Now whenever I see the menu button on anything I will call it the "HAMBURGER BUTTON"

[@wendellfishing]

Lol.... AKA... Pancake button & McDonalds Hotstack Button :)

[@r0achk3vin]

Thank you so much for this video... i jus got mine and your tutorial was excellent and user friendly... cant wait to try it out.

[@wendellfishing]

You’re welcome! Tight lines!

Daren, I have watched a lot your videos over the last couple of years. I have a learned a lot from watching you. I made my own Kydex keel guard for my Native Titan X 10.5 among other modifications. I also follow you for your fishing tips because I fish similar conditions as I live in northeast Indiana. With all that said, I am considering adding a fish finder to my kayak. I know you used the Garmin Striker 4 and you have upgraded to the Garmin UHD 92SV/93SV. I have the budget to jump to the Garmin UHD 93SV or higher and believe in the "buy once cry once" moto. But I am not sure of what I am getting for the money over the Striker 4. I understand the general specs and you get a larger screen, upgraded transducer, clearer image, and additional features. My question is more qualitative. Since you have used and understand both units. Do you feel the tradeoff of deck space, simplicity, and the ability to locate fish, and structure is worth the upgrade after your time of using both units? Do you think you locate and catch a lot more fish by using the 92SV unit vs the Striker 4 or just a little more? Maybe a video comparing and contrasting the differences, or any pros and cons of upgrading.

[@wendellfishing]

Hey Don... it's night and day brother. Mostly because of SideVu. That was a game changer once I could locate underwater structure 100feet off both sides of my kayak. GAME CHANGER and solid unit. 93SV is solid and increased my game this past year 100%

[@DonMock1]

@@wendellfishing Thank you for the quick response and feedback. It looks like it's going to be the Garmin 93SV with GT56UHD

[@wendellfishing]

@@DonMock1 Solid Pick boss. If you haven't got it yet and you are using Amazon.. using this link will help the channel out. Appreciate you. geni.us/GarminUHD93SV

I just got one of these for my new yak on Black Friday. I was gonna wing it but hey, how could I turn down a quick 10min guide.

[@virginiaboudreau2037]

I’m looking to buy a fish finder for my husbands birthday… I’m not sure if I missed it in the video but is it necessary to by a battery pack for it? How long does it run without an extra battery pack?

[@wendellfishing]

Hey Virginia! these units do not have any native battery power. If he has a boat, he could connect it to his battery that powers the boat. If he has a kayak and no battery on board, he will need another alternative. I use and recommend this: geni.us/Nocqua10Ah

[@hix9306]

Can I just hook it up to my trolling motor battery?

[@wendellfishing]

If its a 12vt trolling battery yes

[@jeffreybateham9527]

So.. im beginning my venture into canoe/icefishing fish finders, looking at all things to donwith and saw that blue camo battery pack on line and had NO CLUE(😂😂😂😂😂) atball it was that TINY... its cute

[@wendellfishing]

That little battery pack is a beast!

[@jamesrostie4784]

FYI the striker 4 will run from 6-12v

[@wendellfishing]

Website says 10-20 VDC .... you can get it to run on 6?

[@CoolGuyDoingCoolStuff]

Would a 4.4ah battery be a good option?

[@wendellfishing]

@@CoolGuyDoingCoolStuff .28 amp draw on a 4.4ah would work for 15.71 hours. Good to go

[@CoolGuyDoingCoolStuff]

@@wendellfishing thanks man

[@camboflo727]

my garmin strker 4 plus only has quickdraw contour map not waypoint :(

[@wendellfishing]

Do you mean it doesnt have maps? Because it will mark a waypoint.

[@camboflo727]

@ yeah it doesnt have maps

Garmin STRIKER Vivid 4 CV fishfinder one question if you can answer me. On the pond I save for example brightness 85%, CONTRAST 75%, AND AFTER I TURN OFF THE SONAR, AND THE NEXT TIME ON THE POND I TURN IT ON, I LOSE THE BRIGHTNESS SETTING, THE MEMORY IS AUTOMATIC, CONTRAST 75% REMEMBERS IT.. brightness 85% No why

[@wendellfishing]

Are you setting it through the settings menu or just through your power button? Settings > System > Display > Backlight.
