STRIKER™ Vivid 7cv su GT20-TM jutikliu

The GT20-TM transducer supplied with the STRIKER Vivid 7cv can be installed in two main ways:

On the transom (Transom Mount): This is a common method that allows the transducer to be submerged directly in clean water behind the boat.On an electric trolling motor (Trolling Motor Mount): This option is ideal for anglers using an electric trolling motor, allowing the transducer to move with the motor for better coverage.The necessary mounts for both types of installation are included with the product, giving you maximum flexibility.

No, it is strongly discouraged to cut the GT20-TM transducer cable. Cutting the transducer cable voids the Garmin product warranty. If the cable is too long, it is recommended to coil it carefully and secure it to prevent tangling or damage, while following proper routing precautions to avoid electrical interference.

For a flush-mount installation of the STRIKER Vivid 7cv display, the required cutout in your boat's mounting surface should measure approximately 218.3 mm in width and 89 mm in height. It is always recommended to use the mounting template provided in the product box to ensure precise cutting and avoid errors.

Yes, the STRIKER Vivid 7cv can share data with other compatible Garmin devices. To do this, you must use the blue and brown wires of the power/data cable. This feature is useful for expanding your navigation and fish-finding system with additional ECHOMAP™ or STRIKER units.

To avoid any interference with the operation of a magnetic compass, the STRIKER Vivid 7cv must be installed at a minimum distance of 40 cm (15.75 inches) from it. Maintaining this distance ensures the accuracy of your compass and the proper operation of your navigation instruments.

If your boat spends a significant amount of time in the water, it is recommended to apply antifouling paint to the GT20-TM transducer and its mounting accessories to prevent marine growth. It is imperative to use water-based antifouling paint. Never use acetone or acetone-based products on the transducer, as this could damage its plastic housing.

To ensure optimal performance and reduce noise or interference, the depth sounder cable must be routed away from electrical interference sources. This includes:

Ignition wires.Battery and boat service wiring.Electric motor batteries and wiring.High-energy wires, such as those from radar, audio amplifiers, and autopilot pumps.Also avoid pinching or sharply bending the cable to prevent damage.

The STRIKER Vivid 7cv requires a 12 Vdc power supply. To protect the device and your boat's electrical circuit, a 3.0 A fuse is required on the power circuit.

The Garmin STRIKER Vivid 7cv is a fishfinder/chartplotter with a 7-inch color display. It features ClearVü™ technology, enabling clear and detailed sonar images of underwater structures and fish. It also includes high-visibility color palettes for improved sonar return interpretation.

The Garmin STRIKER Vivid 7cv comes with the GT20-TM transducer. This transducer is versatile and supports both traditional CHIRP sonar and ClearVü™ scanning sonar. It is designed for transom or electric motor mounting.

The STRIKER Vivid 7cv requires a 12 Vdc power supply. It is important to use a 3.0 A fuse to protect the device.

The STRIKER Vivid 7cv can be installed using a mounting bracket. Options include a fixed mount or a swivel mount, allowing you to orient the display as needed. A flush-mount template is also available, but it is recommended to use the one provided in the product box for precise fitting.

The GT20-TM transducer is designed to be mounted in two main ways:

On the transom of your boat.
On the electric motor of your boat.

To ensure optimal performance and minimize noise and interference, it is critical to route the transducer cable away from the following:

Ignition wires.Battery and service wiring.Battery and electric motor wiring.High-energy wires such as those from radar, audio amplifier, and autopilot pump.In addition, avoid pinching the cable or bending it too sharply.

No, it is strongly discouraged to cut the depth sounder cables, as this would void the warranty of your product. It is important to route the cables as-is.

To install the depth sounder on the transom, you will need the following tools:

A Phillips screwdriver size #2.A drill.Bits: 4 mm (5/32 in), 3.2 mm (1/8 in), and 25 mm (1 in).Masking tape.Marine sealant.For an installation on an electric motor, waterproof tape (not included) is also required.

Yes, the STRIKER Vivid 7cv can share data with other Garmin ECHOMAP™ or STRIKER™ devices. This is done via the blue and brown wires of the device's wiring.

Yes, it is necessary to update the software of your Garmin chartplotter when installing this device. You can find instructions for updating the software in the user manual of your chartplotter on support.garmin.com.
