STRIKER™ Plus 4

The Garmin STRIKER™ Plus 4 is equipped with a 4.3-inch color display.

The STRIKER™ Plus 4 uses Garmin’s traditional CHIRP sonar technology. This technology is designed to provide clear sonar images and optimized target separation.

Yes, the STRIKER™ Plus 4 integrates chartplotting and GPS navigation features.

Yes, the STRIKER™ Plus 4 features a 4.3-inch color screen specifically designed to be readable even in full sunlight.

Main features of the Garmin STRIKER™ Plus 4 include:

A fishfinder with traditional Garmin CHIRP technology for clear images.A 4.3-inch color display readable in full sunlight.GPS mapping and navigation capabilities.

The recommended safe distance from a compass is 30 cm (11.8 inches).

For installing the transducer on the transom, you will need the following tools:

A #2 Phillips screwdriver. A drill. 4 mm (5/32 in), 3.2 mm (1/8 in), and 25 mm (1 in) drill bits. Masking tape. Marine sealant.

The transducer must be mounted to extend:

3.5 mm (0.125 in) below a fiberglass hull. 10 mm (0.375 in) below an aluminum hull.

For optimal performance, the transducer must be installed:

Parallel to the waterline.As close as possible to the centerline of the transom, but at least 38 cm (15 in) from the propeller.On the starboard side if the propeller rotates clockwise, or on the port side if it rotates counterclockwise.In a clean water area (non-turbulent), avoiding seams, struts, fittings, water intakes or outlets, or anything that could create air bubbles.

No, it is strongly discouraged to cut the transducer cable. Cutting the transducer cable will void the product warranty.

A 3.0 A fuse is required for the STRIKER™ Plus 4 power supply.

The STRIKER™ Plus 4 requires a 12 Vdc power supply.

Yes, the transducer can be installed on a trolling motor using hose clamps and following the specific assembly instructions for this type of mounting.

If the boat spends a lot of time in the water, it is recommended to apply a water-based antifouling paint on the transducer and mounting hardware to prevent marine growth. It is important to never use acetone or acetone-based products, as this would damage the transducer's plastic housing.

To test the transducer installation, place the boat in open water with no obstacles, then:

Power on the display unit. Drive the boat at low speed, then gradually increase speed while monitoring the display. If the sonar signal is suddenly lost or bottom return degrades sharply, note the speed at which this occurs. Return to that speed and make moderate turns in both directions. If the signal improves, adjust the transducer so it extends 3 mm (1/8 in) deeper under the transom. Repeat steps until degradation is eliminated. If the signal does not improve, move the transducer to another location on the transom and repeat the test.

Yes, the STRIKER™ Plus 4 can share data with other ECHOMAP™ or STRIKER™ devices using the blue and brown wires of its cable.

Yes, the STRIKER™ Plus 4 uses electronic charts to facilitate navigation. It is important to always cross-check the information displayed on the device with other navigation sources, including official government charts and visual observations.

The STRIKER™ Plus 4 is covered by a limited one-year warranty from the date of purchase.

The limited warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship under normal use conditions. Garmin will repair or replace, at its sole discretion, any defective component free of charge for parts and labor, except for shipping costs which are the customer’s responsibility.

The limited warranty does not apply and may be void in the following cases:

Cosmetic damage (scratches, dents).Consumable parts (unless damage is due to a material or manufacturing defect).Damage caused by an accident, abuse, misuse, water, flooding, fire, or other external causes.Damage caused by service performed by a provider not authorized by Garmin.Any unauthorized repair or modification of the equipment.Cutting the transducer cable.
