are you still using this system?

Did you wire in a battery cut off switch?

One more question. If you were to do it all over again, would you do the exact same thing or what would you do to improve on it? I just bought the livescope plus for ice fishing. Thanks

Have you had any issues with your voltage step down unit? It says max 3 amps. I am pretty sure the fishfinder and livescope black box together suck up a little more than that.

I tried this last year and still can’t find a ice fishing transducer so I’ll be making another. When used while sleeping on the ice my cutting board shattered lol.

How long does 1 battery last ?

Genius 👍🏻

Do you have the wire diagram for your build

Impressive work

Great quality build! Question for you: I notice you aren't using the factory screen cover. Is this because the fit is so tight there is no additional room in the case when closed? Apache shows a total inside depth of 6.125" which is the exact same depth as the head unit on it bail mount. How thick is the cutting board your are using? Thanks for the info!

thank you very much for a good, down to earth approach to this setup!

$125 for this from Garmin! Easy peasy doing it yourself for $20. Thanks for the idea!

Nice build! Wish I had seen it before I bought and assembled Garmin's Large Ice Bag. FYI -> Panoptix and most of the head units are able to run from 10v-32v, according to their website. Also, I have head good things when guys run them "over volted" with 18v power packs like yours without a convertor/resistor and supplying the full 18v. Clearer images, faster response, etc...

Prior to seeing your video i was thinking of how i could rig up the same setup with the apache box,and poof here it is,excellent...

I am from Quebec Canada.The species we fish is the speckled trout, the characteristic of this one is that it is held in less than 30 feet.The main technique to catch it is by trolling with a spoon followed by a hook with a worm. Of course it is quite rare with my Humminbird Mega Live G2N Si to distinguish these specimens even with the traditional sounder because as soon as one approaches them the shadow of the boat makes them flee immediately.In these circumstances if I acquire a Garmin GPSMAP 1222 with Panoptix Livescope System Touchscreen Chartplotter an investment of 4310 $ Canadian that can give me a certain advantage in the capture of this trout

Per a phone conversation with a Garmin employee the 93 SV UHD is rated to operate between 9-18 volts and has a 3 amp quick blow fuse. The GLS 10 operates between 9-32 volts so I was told using Milwaukee M18 or Dewalt 20v batteries without a voltage reducer is ok.

I need link to that regulated

Great Video, what type case are you using for storing the electronics?

I’ve built something very similar just waiting for the units to arrive. I have heard the black box draws a lot of power. How long are you getting out of the 20volt 6ah battery?

How many hours run do you get off 60v max battery

The knobs you describe for the transducer, are they added to the original screws somehow, or are those completely different screws that you matched the machine pattern from the original provided screws? Are those something I could find at Lowe’s?

Awesome video, exactly what I was looking for.

i really like your coupler setup, can you explain a little more detailed what parts are in the coupler setup? what is the black sleeve that appeared and what keeps the whole shaft from sliding down through?

What model and size screen was that in the video? I just bought the GPSMAP 1222 and wondering if it will fit.

What volts did you set the regulator at. thanks Ralph

Nice

Nice job

Does the coupler keep the inner pipe form sliding up and down?

Great setup! I am building mine and was wondering how much time you get with yours before the battery runs out?

Well done

If you have the clearance, you could even cut out a slot above the the screen and bolt on and/or silicon seal a plexiglass panel so that it can be operated closed, which would make it completely weather sealed.

Great setup thank for sharing. I'm setting mine up. For power, I calculate about 2amps draw based on spec sheet of both units. What can you expect from 20v 5ah batteries? I was going to go sealed lead acid but looking closer at my DeWalt lipos

I got the 3800 on accident thinking that is what you used, but still trying to get it to work before exchanging. The problem I am having is getting the Garmin graph to close as it sits too high. After reviewing the specs it appears both the 3800 and 4800 have the same depth. Is that incorrect? How are you able to get yours to close? Do you use a different mount holder than what you get with the graph?

Even though they now have a bundle I'd take this over theirs any day, sweet!!

do you think a GPSMAP 8610 will fit in that case VS 93xx

What brand/model is that black base?

Does the battery run all of that for more than 4 hours?

Exactly what I’m looking for. Thank You for this video. I think I’m going with seahorse 540 case since I have few of them for different purposes and they are top notch and not expensive.

I like your idea of using the Black-box and using the DeWalt batteries is a cool thought as well ! Kudos !

Did everything exactly like you showed and I am ready to use it. Thanks again for the video.

How long does the 18v 6 ah battery run the 9" monitor? That should be 108 watt hours of battery so should run just the monitor for about 7 hours. I'm curious if dropping the voltage from 18 to 12 reduces the watt hours of the battery.

I like that ideal. That’s slick

what a great solution. Nicely engineered!

Nice job on your case. Looks like you could get away with a 3800 series case if you tipped up the black box? Nice to be able to protect a large investment from the weather and other abuse.

Nice job. I like the design. Curious, anything you would have done differently or improved if you did it again?

This is awesome, I have been looking for a while and this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Can you post the voltage regulator link please

Thank you for taking the time to provide this excellent video. I plan to make one very similar to yours. I highly appreciate sharing your skills.

Molto bello complimenti 👍 se ti va visita il mio canale
