Striker 4 Garmin Fish finder Questions

[obifishkenobi]

Did you read the post early in the summer how a member used a 30 cal. plastic ammo box to house his striker 4 w/transducer,and battery? Pretty compact unit. I made me one for my Striker4.  Did you get the standard transducer or the ice fishing transducer?

The one I bought came with the standard but it supposes to be able for both.

Yes and No.  Last year I got my s4 as an ice fishing bundle with battery and insulated bag that fits inside a 5 gal bucket. It came with the standard transducer and I struggled with positioning the transducer to see both lures because it's signal is in a fan shape instead of a true cone shape signal. I attached it to PVC for positioning. I now have the ICE transducer and it is much easier to see both lures without any positioning. I had hoped that you had the ICE and you might need my standard xducer.

Burley you might be able to help me out, I have always just used the standard transducer, not wanting to spend the money for the ice one, but my traducer now has a short in the cord that I'm fighting with and I am going to buy the ice transducer, the only issue is they are on back order everywhere and I am fishing in the Tite Lines Tournament at Echo on the 6th. If you want to sell or trade your boat transducer I'll take it for the right price. I have all kinds of gear and tackle or cash if that is what takes, let me know what you want for it.
