Question 1

What's the difference between this and the "garmin striker 4 with transducer, 3.5" gps fishfinder with chirp traditional transducer"?

Accepted Answer

The screen size isn’t the only difference. The Striker 4 Plus has the QuickDraw Contours feature that maps the body of water you’re navigating or fishing and it is well worth it. It will map up to 2 million acres and store it.

Question 2

how many holes do i need to drill to install the transducer?

Accepted Answer

Don't drill holes in your boat.  Find an old 3/8-1/2" plastic cutting board and cut a 4x4 piece out of it and using 3m sticky tape mount it to the transom and use short screws to mount the transducer to the piece of cutting board.  Did that back in 1979 and has never come loose.

Question 3

Can this be used on a 58 feet yacht?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Probably your best choice. It has all of the features you'd expect for a 58 feet yacht. The 4in screen is huge just like your 58 feet yacht so you can see just everything easily. I do highly suggest you upgrade the transducer, but that could get pretty pricey around $100. So if money is tight, then the standard transducer should do just fine for your 58 feet yacht. Hope this helps!

Question 4

For in hull transducer mounts for a fiberglass boat, Garmin suggested putting the transducer in a container full of antifreeze. Any other methods?

Accepted Answer

I can’t speak to fiberglass as I use mine on kayak. However I do use my transducer shooting thru hull attached with duct seal that forms a reservoir around transducer and then I add water. That works perfectly!  Duct seal is $3 at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
