New Mount for Mega 360

[@chengphan5991]

Thanks boss. Been looking for a video about this same exact situation. I Been wanting the 360 but I have a ghost trolling motor myself. Thanks for showing me the right mount💪

[@clarynick]

That’s the mount I got for fortrex. You can open the clamp all the up and turn bolts by hand to size. I got it marked to see if it’s moving and hasn’t yet. I do like the stabilizer on the bottom so will be looking for that.

[@TSmith911]

I used the BFE mount on mine. Works great.

Hey John! Thanks for the video! I’m looking to do the same setup this year and already have the mount and 360. With what you’ve shown how well does the ghost rotate to steer both directions? Seems like we might want a little more service loop than you had shown. Also I like how these mounts allow you to raise and lower the trolling motor but again on yours it looks like the service loop might be a little small? Can you explain it? Or show a video of the motor turning and raising up/down?

Hummingbird has to get rid off the ridiculous extra pole for 360. They need to develop something that goes on the trolling motor head similar to the new ghost360.

[@JohnCrews]

Dude, yes

[@TheRecon1a]

JC so you use the Mega 360 but still use the Garmin Livescope and Lowrance active target? Or Am I mistaken?

[@JohnCrews]

Correct.

[@MVRM-t9g]

John do you have any suggestions where we can buy the mega 360s? I've looked everywhere but they're all backorderd or sold out.

[@JohnCrews]

Try calling Boat WRX in Missouri

I heard that Lowrance can now do a”360” with the Ghost if you have the 3in1 nose cone. My understanding is that it’s a free software upgrade. I assume the ghost spins to make the image. Would like to hear your thoughts and maybe trials for this. If it works it could save a few bucks for us “weekend warriors”. Personally, I’d rather NOT have 3 brands of sonar on my boat. Thanks.

[@JohnCrews]

It’s a great feature for Lowrance people. The only thing it you have to push the button to make it show 360. It’s basically a manual version of 360. You’ll never guess who made the suggestion of this feature to the Lowrance engineer. 😉

[@bluesinsation]

@@JohnCrews I’m afraid to guess because then I’d be “cruising for a bruising”. 😜

[@donskinner2900]

Hey John! I have a Fortrex trolling motor. A friend gave me a mega 360 but I don't have the Fortrex mount bracket. Would you sell me the Fortrex mount or let me know where I can get one. Thks

[@mike240d]

mike here in lincoln,nebraska. neighbor has a mega 360 27" shaft he's selling. is there a way to mount that short shaft model to my 2021 Ultrex with 60" shaft? Thanks alot, Mike

[@calebrock9047]

Hey john do you know if the Fortrex mount or BFE mount will work on the Garmin Force?

[@jrjohnson9932]

Will these work on the tour edition?

[@mburke1211]

Does your cover still fit with the new mount? It looks slick!

[@JohnCrews]

Sure does

[@chadraper6418]

What are your thoughts on the new lowrance 360?

[@JohnCrews]

Great for Lowrance only peeps but still not a full time 360

[@richardcranium5839]

the manufacturer could cut an oring groove in the mount to keep it from vibrating down

[@sonar5676]

Warranty issue.. If you damage the shaft it is not covered.

[@TW14137]

Good info, but man, I'm getting sea sick...too much erratic camera movement.

[@bakervinci163]

Garmin /lowrance/Humminbird ? Damn

[@JohnCrews]

It’s ridiculous

[@harveyfrenzel2280]

There is a reason the bracket is mounted high on the 360 pole. When u add the lower aftermarket bracket…. the first time u hit a stump….. bye bye 360 head! It’s made to flex.

[@JohnCrews]

I had a similar support last year and no problems

[@harveyfrenzel2280]

@@JohnCrews I understand. Some people fish very wooded areas like myself. Just warning people that it does happen. Seen it first hand and hummingbird can void the warranty if they see it. I’m a weekend tournament fisherman and that repair cost would set me back. Just saying

[@kirkreusch8415]

Hmm, a mega 360 transducer! If only I could find one!! 🤷‍♂️😞

[@kirkreusch8415]

Thanks John. Love the content. I captain for a high school team and looking far and wide for a ultrex mega transducer before ice out. Frustrating to say the least. Hoping for a great 2022 for you this year.

[@tomheun3019]

Those are stabilizers not mounts lol

[@JohnCrews]

The product name has the word mount in it so…
