Getting ready to put mine on a pole this weekend great video bud. The video helped so much.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad it helped

[@jeffperkins6514]

Thanks for the video, helped me out a bunch. This is exactly what I needed to see in order to get an understanding of the transducer.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad it helped bud

[@101karper]

Thx Randy. Fantastic video, finally I’m 100% sure of what I’m doing 😊🇧🇪

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thanks for watching bud

[@tonyduran4764]

Thank you for this. It was very helpful and well explained.

[@way2wild21]

Thank you for making such a clear concise video. I had my transducer faced backwards with cable in front prior to this and knew I had something wrong by what i was seeing on chartplotter.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad it helped brother

Thanks for watching bud

[@maxcole3930]

Good info as usual..I have my lvs34 on pole mount on my kayak. I'm using the Fishing specialties kayak bowducer pole with their 34 transducer mount. It does down, forward & perspective. It's a ram ball transducer mount so you can adjust the angles infinity. The ram mount makes the transducer center below the pole so it has less water resistant & not hanging off the side like a hockey stick. It also has the cord run down through the pole it's completely out of the way, don't need to tie it up. I've been super happy with it so far!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Yea I bought one of those. It worked ok.

[@gregoryatcher3883]

[@red00dog47]

Well done ! New user of Livescope and I found your explanation very helpful. Thanks !

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad it was helpful!

[@red00dog47]

I forgot to ask - from watching you orient between port & starboard then forward & down positioning, is that a 0 deg bracket ? It appears to be compared to the 2 diff ones which came with my unit. Thanks for your advice.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

@@red00dog47 that’s a summit fishing equipment mount. Visit my website and you’ll see a link to the their website.

[@joemason1728]

I see you can adjust the down angle on the summit mount for perspective mode. How do you adjust the down angle on the Garmin 34 mount? It looks square and not angled down, which means a lot to the 20 degree beam will be pointed out of the water and not toward the bottom. Seems you would want to be a able to adjust that. Is Garmin missing something?

[@olanlunn8284]

Thank you so much you are awesome guy and thank you again

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thanks Olan

[@survivingcountrylife7069]

Just watched this. I think I get it between forward and down orientation. I'm going to run a front mounted pole like you've got on my boat

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Have fun bud

[@scotwcates]

Hello love the video, I’ve got the 32 really wanting to up grade to the 34, i fish mainly 20 to 30 feet mainly fish brush piles rarely snipe fish don’t really like it is the 34 really worth the 1200 dollar upgrade thx

[@dbldnii]

when using a rod holder mount, on the port side gunwal, do I still face transducer forward?

[@bidkid2020]

Did a really good job explaining on the lvs 34 unless I missed it I think that was the prospective amount that you were explaining would that be the same as a zero mount far if you were in down mode. just got it hooked up taking it out tomorrow hopefully the weather holds up

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

If I’m understanding you right brother yes it will be. The summit is infinitely adjustable for any angle.

[@jwalker5144]

Great video! Best one that I have seen.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thanks bud. It’s part of my livescope masterclass on WaypoinTV

[@jwalker5144]

What is Waypoint TV never heard of it?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

@@jwalker5144 it’s a channel like the outdoor channel or sportsman channel. You can download the app or go to Their website

[@tonyboneize]

Extremely well said. 👍🏻

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Yes sir

[@johnstrain240]

So by “starboard side” are you referring to which side of the boat the trolling motor is mounted on or which side of the trolling motor the transducer is mounted on?

[@jeffskyberg5615]

Great video! With a pole should I be using a flat mount or the slight angle mount they sent with it? Yours look flat to the pole. Also you show going to prospective mode from port side only, which way does it all go from Starboard side? Or should I switch to port then prospective? Thanks for the help that Garmin does not give!!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

0 degree mount on a pole.

[@captaincrappie7771]

Great job bro. How about a video comparison between the 8 degree offset livescope mount vs the 0 degree mount ?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I’ll try to do that

[@marqsman84]

Great information

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thanks bud

[@huntermclaughlin29]

For bass fishing clear or dirty waters, which way would I need my transducer? Brand new to livescope not sure what I’m doing but you are helping lots, thanks. I just don’t know if I should put it down or front or which one

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Definitely forward mode

[@lwbuck7948]

Helps a lot

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

No problem bud

[@johnstrain439]

Good video, have a question off the subject. How can I turn on and off my tracks on a ultra 126sv. Have tried but end up losing all tracks. My screen is loaded with tracks I don't need but don't want to lose the ones I do.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

You can save individual trails but you would have to start a new trail with the intent on saving it. You haven’t cleared tracks and all Of a sudden want to save a specific section that can’t be done. I’ll shoot a video soon on it

[@h0ckeypuck]

I've watched most of the LVS34 install video's out there . This one is by far the best on how to orient the transducer with the perspective mount. Thank you!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Great to hear!

[@floydcaddy4411]

Good one agin I like it

[@johnramsey1175]

In forward view on a pole mount is the transducer supposed to have that slight angle up?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Yes sir

[@bigcatkev]

Is that on the 8 degree angle? Lvs34? I have the seelight 2.0 system and trying to figure out if i should use the garmin perspective mount or do i need a zero degree mount? Or should i order the summit one? Lol. Sorry just bought livescope and 126. Haven’t used it yet.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

It’s a summit mount that adjust to any angle.

[@paulscozzari1787]

Is the newer LVS 34 mount that comes with the unit considered a "O degree" mount?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

No sir still an 8 degree mount. I always recommend getting an aftermarket

[@jwalker5144]

One more question.... I calibrated my unit and got a 97% on both readings. However, for some reason the cone on the top right corner does not point in the direction that the transducer is pointing. I have done it 6 times and have the same problem. I have done it with the trolling motor and big motor. Any ideas?

[@wkelvin79]

I have a question, I'm running a livescope setup upfront and a 94sv at the console. Do I need 2 separate batteries for this setup. What brand of fuse block do you run, I'm trying to figure out what I need for my setup

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Naw 1 battery will do and I just found a waterproof fuse block on amazon

[@wkelvin79]

I ordered a fuse block, and #10 pos wire last night. Like you I'm from Louisiana, what part are you from

[@dannylang7971]

Does the orientation on the installation tab have to be on auto or forward?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Not sure I quite follow bud.

[@andrewmckinnon4555]

One question for clarification: starboard/port side of the pole, not the boat?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Yes

How far under the waterline do you like the transducer?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

A foot to 18 inches. Be conscious of waves

[@InstinctBassin]

There are 4 words that should be in the Garmin install literature: "Cord in the back"

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Correct

Summit fishing equipment

[@mikewolfe789]

Can you install this mounted to the transom for down view?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Yes you can. Might need a special mount my friend

[@mikewolfe789]

Thanks for the response!Would I be able to see in front of the boat and down?

[@jwalker497]

Does it matter if the transducer is port or starboard?

I’m gonna need more info

Can I send you a couple pics of my transducer set up & get your opinion.

[@teamskunkonly2763]

What pole mount do you have ?

Livefoot. The only one to have

[@iam73en]

I went out and had it mounted with cord in the front and it worked?? Can you face it anyway?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Yes you can but I suggest the cord towards the back for protection

[@wallydrifter]

​@The_Garmin_Guru I forgot to tag you on my question.

[@toddnelson6438]

I have fishing specialist mount. No pole in the way to be on starboard or port side. Sooooo let me understand this correct.... regardless of which side I use port or starboard the cable in front or in the back tells me which way to orientate the Transducer.. Cable in front means bottom is parallel Cable in back means top is parallel Also I have used down mode and left it in the same position and adjusted the angle or pitch to make it straight as possible on the installation setup and I believe it was pitch

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

If I’m understanding what you typed it sounds correct to me on all your statements bud. I’m assuming the 32 also

[@toddnelson6438]

Correct 32. Thank you

[@flipper2473]

So, on I LS v32 starboard shaft mount, can I see under the boat in forward view setting and down position? in down position, how many feet forward can a person hope to see? Thanks

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

It’s limited to depth and not much more

[@flipper2473]

@@The_Garmin_Guru thanks

[@getthenet2358]

On the LVS34 truly not sure of what angle the transducer needs to be set to start.

For what orientation are you referring bud

had to really crank the sound up to hear.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Hope it helped you out. First person to say something about the sound. Might be your speakers but I’ll check on it

@@The_Garmin_Guru nice , I can't see shit past 30 w it in forward position. Click up n see out to 80

@@ryanmcatee1418 that tells me your transidcer isn’t level due to trolling motor shaft lean. See it a lot when I’m doing lessons Or your top beam isn’t not aligned properly.

[@ryanmcatee1418]

@The_Garmin_Guru I think my shaft is off since I switched to lithium batteries . Should I just run it the click up? Will it hurt anything? I run fish obsessed 0 degree as well. Only been out w it twice for couple hrs

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

@@ryanmcatee1418 that sounds like the problem. Front sits lower due to the lighter batteries. That explains having to click it up. In the video I’m referring to people with level shafts having to click it up. But I would use the mount to account for that unevenness

[@robyartist1]

This is totally opposite of what we we were taught.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

How do you mean brother

[@robyartist1]

We have watched on various videos on garmin that says the opposite position of the transducer of what you said. We have always had problems with it. But what you teach makes sense. No one ever said where the cameras/ sensors are; so we changed our starboard side per your instructions & so far it is working great. Can't wait to try it out in deeper water. Thanks!😮

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

@@robyartist1 awesome brother. I’m glad I could help. Have a blessed day

What kinda pole are you using if the transducer is not mounted to trolling motor?
