If you put the kayak in the water, where it would normally be during use i think the temp would be much lower. You have not tested it under it's normal operating condition.

Hopefully you could answer my question good sir. If I mount the GT20 inside my kayak hatch (the correct way) will Clear Vu still work the same ? Or am I stuck without it? Thank you .

Honestly with traditional sonar only, it really does not matter much as it is a 3D cone and regardless of direction you will still have a cone. When it comes to the GT20 and Clear Vu, It still does not matter 100%, but I tend to put my GT20 in the bow of my kayak in the same orientation as if it was on the back of a boat. Now if you ever get into a unit with Side Vu...then it 100% matters that the orientation is correct.

Can you help me understand why when I try to create a quick draw map on my unit all I see is a green box and it never forms the map? Thanks
@1Cast1Fish

Could the area you are in be of the same depth? Is the maps set to record the info? Are you using the correct process? Select Quickdraw Map > Menu button > Quickdraw Contours > Start Recording. When recording is complete, select Menu button > Quickdraw Contours > Stop Recording. It is also speed dependent and I find slower speeds result in better data recording

I have taken the unit out on my kayak multiple times, all different depths. I use the record function, see it recording but never see a map form, only a green box the whole time. I never go pass 5mph on my motorized kayak. I will reset my device and try it out on the lake again tomorrow, maybe even record a video to show you if that's alright. Thanks!@@1Cast1Fish

how much is the max depth this 300watt transducer in salt water on a normal day with not so much clear water?
@1Cast1Fish

The manual says around 800ft...so in general I just half that for realistic max depths.

You don't take into account the surface temperature of the water which should bring the temp down a bit.

I obviously can't fit my vivid 4 transducing my Moken 12.5 sonar pod. Can I still mount it in my hull? Don't want it dragging underneath. This should work, correct? Do I mount it with silicone or plumbers putty? Thank you for your time and effort.

I use Duct Seal...Plumbers putty is close, but harder I believe. I like to remove mine sometimes for other uses, so I have not done Silicone.

Hey thanks for the video. Question for you, Any idea how much more battery power will the Vivid transducer use over the Striker 4?? Im trying to decide between the two models, I had a Striker 4 and during a fishing trip it just died, so I'm a little reluctant to go back to the same model, but if the vivid uses a lot more power, then it might die during a longer day on the water. Thoughts?
@chopupyourwife6193
Жыл бұрын
Following because I’m deciding between the two right now. I plan on using a nocqua 12v 10ah battery to power it. 300w vs 200w transducer will definitely change power consumption on the battery.

Base Model Typical Draw: .23 amps Max Draw: 1 amp Vivid Typical Draw: .40 amps Max Draw: 1.5 amp As you can see the vivid typical draw will be higher than the base model. Now assume a 10 amp hour battery and you want a 75% draw down max 7.5/.23 = 32 hours 7.5/.40 = 18.75 hours Hope this helps
