@janman55 2 месяца назад

Thanks for your informative video. Not that you are to blame, but it is a little surprising how a $122 Fish Finder (the basic version) totals over $300 when you include the minimal basic accessories you have listed. Ouch! There are less expensive mounts and batteries available if you look around.

@1Cast1Fish 2 месяца назад

@@janman55 I agree, that’s always the way it seems. You can save some money though by mounting the fish finder directly to the kayak or using an off brand mount instead of RAM. Also the battery comes in a smaller 4.4ah version that is cheaper…again or you can go off brand or even standard small lead acid battery to save even more. This is just my setup and due to use and abuse I wanted the best I could find, it has lasted years now without issue…that’s why I like these items in particular. Hope this helps a bit

I am having trouble finding the attachments for this ram mount. What ram sent me does not fit on striker 4.

@slugbaited 2 года назад

i just upgraded my set up from a SLA battery to a nocqua 4.4A. i don’t need to charge any other devices except my garmim striker 4 and would like to keep it minimal to save weight. i noticed in some of your other videos, that you don’t use an in-line fuse as supplied by garmin. if i ad a fuse because of the added wire it would basically make that part of my set up really not waterproof. any reasons for concern or issue not using the fuse? this battery is going to save me about 4lbs on my kayak set up! my other option is to put this battery with the fuse and part of the power cable from the garmin into a waterproof box i already have and use a cable gland to run just the power cable out.

@1Cast1Fish 2 года назад

I actually always have the fuse to protect the fish finder, but it is semi sealed pretty well....I have never had a issue with water getting in it.

@None-vo1ci Год назад

Nocqua Adventure Gear Super Y Connector is out of stock. Do I need an adapter to connect the Nocqua battery to my Garmin Sticker? The layout of the male pins doesn't look like they will connect to the female end of the Sticker

@1Cast1Fish Год назад

The Y connector is not needed, but you must have the adaptor that comes with the battery kit. The adaptor will have one side of wires that you tie into the fishfinder power cable, then the other side will fit the battery pigtail.

@peacemain3541 Год назад

Am I missing something? The striker comes with lose wires to connect to a 12 V battery and there was no adapter with the nocqua kit that just plugs into the striker. Any idea what piece is missing and where I can buy it? (A two pint plug to connect to a four pin female?)

Hello, As I was watching to see what ram light duty mount you used, I clicked on the link you posted for it and it brought me to the item but it didnt have the same attachment on as the one you have. The attachment you have on it in the video, I saw that that comes with the garmin kit itself. Did you just swap out the attachments for both the top and bottom?

I used the top to mount to the fishfinder base, I removed the bottom so I can attach it to a 1" ball mount on the kayak rail.

The top part that you used to attach to the fishfinder base looks different. At least the link you posted for it had a different one shown.

The USB and Y are extras, but they are very useful depending on your power needs. The kit comes with everything you need for a standard setup...then you can add the Y or USB later if you like.

I also have seen some people go all out and use the waterproof connector bulkheads and go through the upper part of the kayak with the cords. Lots of variables at play though depending on kayak type and design

@@1Cast1Fish I can tell you that properly mounted, your water temp will work but might take 30 minutes or so for your hull to match the water temp. Worse case is you’d be a degree or so off.

@1Cast1Fish 3 года назад

The transducer should be sturdy enough to stay level on its own, but they will have a bit of play...that way if they hit a object (impact) they can flip up to avoid damage.

How many hours will this battery last before charge

@1Cast1Fish 4 года назад

I have the 10 Ah and I have gone 2 Days charging phones, fish finder, and a camera without any issues. (granted this was not 24 hour per day use) I also did a video with the just the fish finder and it lasted non stop for over 30 hours of continuous run time.

@tuwhelzreally741 3 года назад

So the transducer just sit in the kayak without any interference? You put that cat thing in there and it works without issues huh?

@1Cast1Fish 3 года назад

Correct, with the proper mounting it works just fine in the hull. Not sure I understand what you mean by cat thing though?

Check your mounting area, is the hull real thick there...also duct seal thickness, and ensure no bubbles are air gaps in anything. Never seen a issue on the Ascends

Were you intending to simply show that you ordered the Ram mount from Amazon or did you intend for the link you provided to take one to the exact mount you have? Click on the link and explain how that's what you have in the video. it's completely possible that I'm a dumbass, but I clicked on the link you provided and ordered that mount and I don't see how this mount is compatible with the Garmin Striker Plus 4CV. You state in the video that this mount is specifically for the Garmin Striker fish finders, but how? Has this model changed since June of 2020 or something?

@1Cast1Fish 3 года назад

I wonder if they sent you the wrong mount...I just double checked, and the one listed is the correct one and matches on the Ram website as well. What part number do you have?

@joshott1637 3 года назад

@@1Cast1Fish the item number on my invoice is RAM3972. If you look at the very first review at the bottom of the link, the reviewer talks about how it's not a direct bolt on for the striker Plus 4CV and it would require drilling another hole.

@@1Cast1Fish that is the mount that I got, RAM-B-101-G4. How do you have the mount attached to the fishfinder piece? if it's with the screws that came with it, did you have to drill another hole in order to get all 3 lined up?

@1Cast1Fish 3 года назад

The plastic round piece that the fish finder slides into, should be a direct bolt up to the ram mount. Then you just slide the fish finder onto and off of the plastic mount.

I bought a Striker 4 bundle after viewing this video. However, it does not come with the piece that connecting the fish finder screen unit and the 1" Ram Light Duty Mount as shown in the listed mounting accessories. I am not sure where to buy it

@1Cast1Fish 2 года назад

Are you referring to the rotating plastic portion that the fish finder mounts too?

@TheDongjun 2 года назад

@@1Cast1Fish Yes. I also noticed that the Striker 4 bundle unit is different at the bottom; it does not have the plastic circle at the bottom.

@1Cast1Fish 2 года назад

Yeah that is likely the issue, I have never owned a bundle package so was unsure the exact difference. However I do know the fish finder is exactly the same....which means you may be able to call Garmin and just order the mounting bracket for the unit and then it would be just like a unbundled one possibly.

@TheDongjun 2 года назад

@@1Cast1Fish I called Garmin, but the guy doesn't know where to get the bracket. It seems he might not be very knowledgeable. May I ask where you got that mounting bracket? Is it in the striker 4 package?

@fishcaddy 4 года назад

Great vid! I just got a 4cv, and trying to decide between the 4.4ah or the 10 Nocqua. I see the 4cv power draw is 400mah. Should I assume this will run the fish finder for over 10 hours on the 4.4 Nocqua (plenty for me)? Any reason to get the 10 instead? Would love to get your thoughts.

@1Cast1Fish 4 года назад

The 4 works great for most everyone and day trips....I like the 10 for a few reasons. I power the fish finder and my cameras from the battery....plus I use it on hunting trips to charge things and such....so I get alot of "other" uses from it as well so the extra power is useful for me.

I always recommend the 10 Ah if you can afford the extra money....only because you can run other items off it as well for longer. In reality though the smaller battery will serve you just fine unless you use it for very long periods (days) or run multiple items like phone charger and GoPros from it.

Garmin Striker Plus 4 is my first fish finder with contour maps and i have one specific problem. When i turn my boat there is 2-3 second delay for all movement my boat does on my striker screen. This is extremely annoying to drive around lake, because im used to drive around Garming hand-held navigator which updates my boat movements on the navigator screen extremely fast. With navigator i was able to drive lines with extreme accuracy and also make fast turns without getting confused which way im going, even drive lake just by looking my navigator (just memorize where they keep fishing nets). Is there any Striker settings that could solve my problem??? Or is there some setting that is causing the problem???

@1Cast1Fish 4 года назад

My GPS is fairly accurate on timing, but I am in a kayak….how fast are you going by chance?

@LeoFINuTube 4 года назад

@@1Cast1Fish 1,85 - 2,5 mph

@1Cast1Fish 4 года назад

Should keep up pretty well at those speeds...does it have good GPS signal? You can also try a factory reset to rest the unit.

@LeoFINuTube 4 года назад

@@1Cast1Fish I found youtube video where guy was driving with striker 4 and u can clearly see that when he makes the turn and boat is alrdy going straight in reality, in striker screen boat is still turning. So there is default 2sec (at least) delay on screen and there propably isnt any solution to this :( also 100% brightness on sunny day isnt just enough. I would say this fish finder is good for kayaking, its avarage for electric motors (cus they cant go very fast anyways, as myself). But boats with real engines i wouldnt recommend, u rlly want fish finder with no delay. Just my honest opinion.

@1Cast1Fish 4 года назад

You are right about wanting a very accurate GPS track when traveling at speed...especially if its dark. I use Humminbirds on my big boat, but think I will drag this along just to see if the GPS lags at all going 50+ mph. Cool you brought this up, because I honestly don't have any experience with it since I use mine on the kayaks.
