Garmin Small Portable Ice Fishing Kit, For 4-7 in STRIKER & ECHOMAP, GT8HW-IF CHIRP Transducer, 16-24 Deg Beamwidth

Overview

The Garmin 010-12462-10 is a small portable ice fishing kit that lets you run a compatible 4 to 7 inch STRIKER fishfinder or ECHOMAP combo from a carry bag with its own power and an ice transducer. It includes a GT8HW-IF high-wide CHIRP traditional sonar transducer (150 to 240 kHz, 250 W) with a selectable 16 to 24 degree beamwidth.

The setup is built around a case that stays easy to handle with gloves and keeps your head unit, cables, and power components together in one place. The fishfinder or combo display is not included.

This style of kit makes sense when you want to move the same head unit between a boat in the warmer months and the ice in winter, or when you want a portable sonar package that stows away fast after a day on the water.

Key features

• Carrying bag sized for 4, 5, 6, or 7 inch Garmin STRIKER fishfinders and ECHOMAP CHIRP or ECHOMAP Plus combos

Compatibility and fit

This kit is intended for Garmin 4 to 7 inch STRIKER fishfinders and ECHOMAP combo units that support CHIRP traditional sonar. The included GT8HW-IF transducer uses a 4-pin connection, so the head unit needs the matching 4-pin sonar connector or the correct adapter.

If your unit normally lives on a quick-release bracket at the console, this kit gives you a second way to run the same screen without reworking your main install. It also keeps the head unit protected when it is off the boat.

Installation and setup

Place the head unit in the case, connect the power lead and transducer, and route the cables through the grommet. On the ice, lower the transducer into the hole and set the foam float so the element stays below the ice and away from the underside.

After fishing, coil the cable back into the storage area and let the case, connectors, and transducer dry before packing everything away.

Use on board

On a small boat, a portable bag setup can be a practical way to protect the display and keep the sonar ready without leaving electronics exposed at the dock. It also fits anglers who trailer, switch between boats, or want one sonar head unit that works across seasons.

Maintenance and care

Wipe down the case and cables after use, and rinse off any salt spray if the kit has been on deck. Keep connectors clean and fully dry before charging the battery or storing the system.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
