Garmin STRIKER Vivid 7sv Fishfinder GPS, 7in WVGA, CHIRP SideVü and ClearVü, Wi-Fi, IPX7, Without Transducer

Overview

The Garmin 010-02553-02 is a STRIKER Vivid 7sv 7-inch fishfinder with built-in GPS and Wi-Fi, sold without a transducer. It runs a 7-inch WVGA color display at 800 x 480 resolution, and it gives you seven color palettes for tuning the view to your eyes and the conditions.

With the right transducer, it supports traditional CHIRP sonar (50/77/200 kHz) plus ClearVü and SideVü scanning sonar (260/455/800 kHz), with 500 W RMS transmit power. Power input is 12 to 20 Vdc with a 3 A fast-acting fuse, and the unit carries an IPX7 water rating for incidental exposure.

For fit at the helm, the unit measures 9.3 x 5.5 x 2.3 inches and weighs 1.7 lb. The included tilt/swivel mount makes it easy to set the viewing angle on a console, dash, or electronics box.

Key features

• 7-inch WVGA color display with 800 x 480 resolution and seven selectable color palettes
• Built-in GPS for waypoint marking, route creation, and on-screen speed
• Supports traditional CHIRP, ClearVü, and SideVü sonar with a compatible transducer (transducer not included)
• Sonar support includes 50/77/200 kHz (traditional) and 260/455/800 kHz (ClearVü and SideVü) with 500 W RMS transmit power
• Garmin Quickdraw Contours for creating your own maps and storing up to 2 million acres with 1-foot contours
• Wi-Fi connectivity for ActiveCaptain app functions such as software updates and waypoint transfer
• IPX7 water rating for onboard environments where spray and washdown happen
• 12 to 20 Vdc input with a 3 A fast-acting fuse in the power lead

Installation and setup

Mount the display where you can reach the keypad and see the screen while running in chop. The tilt/swivel bracket works well on a flat dash or on top of a console, and it is worth leaving enough cable slack so the unit can tilt without pulling on the connectors.

Electrical hookup is straightforward on a 12V boat system: supply 12 to 20 Vdc and keep the 3 A fast-acting fuse in place. For clean sonar performance, route power and transducer cabling away from high-current wiring, ignition components, and radio coax when possible.

Sonar and transducer compatibility

This package does not include a transducer, so the sonar results come down to the transducer you pair with it and how it is mounted. It supports traditional CHIRP plus ClearVü and SideVü scanning, and it can run 50/77/200 kHz and 260/455/800 kHz sonar modes with compatible hardware.

A 12-pin to dual 4-pin transducer adapter cable is included, which can be handy when working with transducers that use separate 4-pin connections. Water temperature data and alarms require a temperature-capable transducer.

GPS and mapping on the water

The built-in GPS is for marking spots, running back to them later, and tracking your route while you fish. Quickdraw Contours lets you record your own contour maps as you run, which is helpful in shallow bays, lakes, and nearshore areas where bottom changes matter.

Recording Quickdraw Contours requires a memory card with free space. This unit focuses on sonar, GPS position, routes, and the maps you create, rather than preloaded cartography.

Wireless and ActiveCaptain app connection

Wi-Fi lets you link the unit to the ActiveCaptain app for tasks like transferring waypoints and handling software updates when you have your phone on board. It also supports access to the Garmin Quickdraw Community through the app if you want to share or download Quickdraw data.

Use cases on board

This unit makes sense for boats that want a 7-inch screen with SideVü and ClearVü capability, plus simple GPS marking for fishing structure and repeatable drifts. It is a solid fit on skiffs, bay boats, center consoles, and small cabin boats where you want strong sonar views without stepping up to a full chartplotter 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.
