Will the transducer for the Garmin Striker Plus 4cv fit in the hobie outback lowrance ready pocket? It uses the CV20-TM transducer. |

I have the compass and just installed same garmin transducer... it will not mount to the brackets. I had to cut them down and the transducer hangs somewhat loose but well protected.... and surrounded with water I feel the quality of image is pretty good. see my post on compass and garmin fishfinder few weeks ago |

Bugger, I saw your post and pics. I don't like the idea of it sticking out. Guess I'll think of another fish finder. |

It actually does not stick out of you saw off the plastic structure inside of the transducer plate. I used a Dremel for that. Works fine for me. Its not exposed and wont get damaged. The standard striker 4 will fit. There is video on how someone installed the corresponding transducer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY5iftLmY74&t=465s |

Ah, ok. How are you keeping the transducer in place? Some sort of glue or goop? |

actually I was planning to apply some good amount of duct seal to hold it in place.... but tried it first to just sit on it loosely. I find the sonar picture just fine. I think as long as its surrounded by water and not any air trapped its just fine if it moves a bit. I think in end the whole kayak moves anyways and whether the transducer moves a bit... the sonar scanning happens darn quickly. So, I dont get any distorted pictures and can see the fish arches very clearly. Not too impressed with the clearVu though.... shows structure but don't expect to see any fish. I think quality is not same as the downscan developed by the more expensive brands. |
