Observe the fish and structures with the highest level of detail after choosing the color of the screen, the location and the probe for your day in the water with the STRIKER Vivid Probe.
Probe of Great Clarity and Color
Choose from 7 new intense color options to see both fish and structures with the highest level of contrast and clarity in your 4-inch probe.
Integrated Probe
Use the included GT20 transducer to obtain the traditional CHIRP probe and the Garmin CHIRP ClearVü scanning probe.
Marking of Waypoints
To catch more fish, you need to know the best locations. Use the waypoint marking to easily find the best fishing points again.
High Sensitivity GPS
Plan and create routes, and visualize the speed of your boat on the probe using the high-sensitivity GPS.
Quickdraw Contours
No one knows the waters in which you fish better than you do. With the STRIKER Vivid 4cv probe, you can store up to 8,000 square kilometers of maps with contours of 30 centimeters.
Mounting Components Included
The STRIKER Vivid 4cv probe includes a rotating/tilting support in addition to components and a mounting cable for stern mirror and motor for trolling fishing.

FAQs
No, cutting the transducer cable voids your warranty and should not be done under any circumstance.
Apply marine sealant to all screw threads to prevent water from seeping into the transom.
Check your boat for leaks before leaving it in the water for extended time. Look specifically around screw holes added below the water line.
Installation should be done by a qualified marine installer to ensure safety and reliable operation.
Mount the transducer at least 38 cm (15 in.) from the propeller to avoid turbulence and performance issues.
Yes, Garmin recommends updating the chartplotter software when installing a new transducer.
On fiberglass, use a countersink bit to avoid cracking the gel-coat layer when tightening screws.
For boats often left in water, coat the transducer and mounting hardware with water-based anti-fouling paint after sanding and cleaning.
Cut out the template, drill pilot holes, apply marine sealant to screws, and attach the transducer assembly to the transom using the included screws.
Yes, the transducer should be mounted 3.5 mm below fiberglass hulls or 10 mm below aluminum hulls for optimal performance.
For lowest noise and interference, the transducer cable should be routed away from ignition wires, batteries, and high-energy wires.
Lightly sand and clean with isopropyl alcohol, then coat the transducer and hardware with water-based anti-fouling paint to prevent marine growth.
Use a countersink bit to avoid cracking the gel-coat layer and put tape over pilot holes to reduce cracking.
