Overview

The Garmin 010-12462-00 is a portable carrying and power kit for a compatible STRIKER fishfinder with GPS, meant for setups that move between a kayak, canoe, small boat, dock, or the ice.

It keeps the fishfinder, power, and transducer pieces together in one bag, with a base and handle for grab-and-go transport. The kit includes a battery that recharges with the included AC charger, plus built-in transducer cable storage and a suction cup transducer mount with a foam float for portable sonar use.

Key features

• Portable bag and base/handle for carrying and quick setup without dedicating a fixed mount on the boat
• Rechargeable battery with AC smart charger for powering the fishfinder away from the boat’s electrical system
• Built-in transducer cable management and storage to keep wiring controlled during transport and use
• Suction cup transducer mount with adapter support for Garmin scanning transducers on temporary installs
• Foam float included for managing the transducer in portable and ice-fishing style setups
• Works well when one fishfinder needs to move between multiple boats or between open-water and ice seasons

Compatibility and fit

This kit is intended for a compatible Garmin STRIKER fishfinder with GPS and is also used with compatible echoMAP and echoMAP CHIRP combos. Fit can vary by display size and mount style, so it helps to confirm the fishfinder’s mounting pattern and cable routing before heading to the water.

Installation and setup

Set the fishfinder onto the portable base, connect the power cable to the included battery, and use the bag’s cable storage to keep slack under control. For the transducer, the suction cup mount is meant for temporary placement on a clean, smooth surface, and it’s worth re-checking suction after launch and after big temperature changes.

Use on board

This setup makes sense for anglers who fish from small craft, rentals, or multiple boats and want one electronics package that packs up quickly at the end of the day. It is also a practical match for seasonal ice fishing where the fishfinder and transducer need a self-contained carry solution.

Maintenance and care

After saltwater use, rinse and dry the exterior before storing the kit, especially around the suction cup and cable storage areas. Keep the battery charged between trips and store the bag where it can dry fully to avoid mildew and corrosion on connectors.
