Livescope Masterclass A-Z: Your Last Guide Ever

[@tabathaosborne6447]

I have had my Garmin on my boat for a year and I finally found someone to explain how it works and what I am looking at, so thank you so much!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad it helped!

[@shakyleg5929]

Lot's of people may not have the attention span to watch a long in depth video, but for the guys who can they are grateful so thanks for your time

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thank you brother for the input. I have chosen small excerpts and released those also. Thank you also for the feedback

[@dennyhendrickson1822]

I absolutely love this video! You have taken the time and the detail to where this old country boy really knows this technology better thank you

[@jamestarzia79]

By far this is the most informative Livescope instructional video! You're the man!!!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I appreciate the kind words. Please share it

[@garycook3689]

First time I saw you, was just watching KZbin for help on my live scope. I hit the Jack pot with you. You are awesome. Thank you so much.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thanks brother

[@ChrisSlowens]

Love this. Especially walking through exactly what each setting does. One of the best guides I've seen on here!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stevestone9648]

I’ve watched just about all the different videos from different people on all aspects about livescope and can honestly say that all your videos are the best explained in detail and easy to understand and comprehensive that is out there. My opinion. Thank you for all your help

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thank you Steve

[@theunluckyfisherman4845]

You're the man! Wicked video. Just picked up an ice fishing bundle, thanks for the information

[@jeffraygooch5154]

I have watched rewatch took notes and studied this video for 3 days there is no doubt this is the best video on KZbin I appreciate the time and effort it took to make this video feel like I understand what I'm doing setting my unit up.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thanks for watching bud

[@jigacidal1188]

Best livescope video ever created. I can't wait to use the focus feature combined with adding that extra 10 ft of depth to max tune my rig. Screen shot those species settings with the little bonus tips per species is gonna make scope life easy. Thanks for the time and effort you spent on this. I originally wanted a dedicated battery but the salesman at Jones Trolling said I was good with my AGM 31 group I use for cranking. Maybe its time to upgrade to a 46AH lithium. Fish On!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thank you bud

[@jorgemasapanta1974]

The best livescope class already watched twice and took some notes now ready to be back to the water

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thanks bud if you have any questions hit me up

[@RyanSmith-fb8rf]

This was incredible thank you for the hard work putting this together. I just got a new Garmin unit to replace one that went down so I’m having to redo all my settings and assemble my Livescope transducer so I bought the summit mount to replace the Garmin perspective mount to see how I like it. I lost my grip pad that goes between the mount and the trolling motor so I’ll try to Jerry rig something.

[@RobertRodgers-ue5vy]

Thanks for the info on batteries and wiring. I got into Live Scope pretty heavy, started with Echomap UHD 93SV Plotter, a GT 56 UHD Transducer, then synced a Panoptix Livescope Plus System System, a LVS 34 Tranducer, GLS 10 Black Box, a Echomap Ultra 106SV Plotter and a 126SV Plotter. All this is wired to my main battery, which I now see needs it's own power source. I now need to select Lithium batteries for my 24V trolling motor and my Garmin Sonar System. The Marine Deep Cycle batteries I'm using aren't holding up to the power drain.

[@williamhill8105]

I want thank you very much for these videos. I have watched hundreds of videos on livescope and find so much miss information. You are the best hands down. Explaining each setting separately and the effect it has has helped me to be able to tweak my unit to suit my personal tastes. The sections on the transducer were much better than Garmin's 1:08:21 , mine was at the wrong angle and backwards, makes all the difference. Thanks for all your work you are the Best

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I appreciate the kind words

[@bobmarshall9542]

Great video! Thanks for the easy to understand explanations. Just purchased Garmin Livescope ice bundle and will be trying out soon!. I feel more confident that I'll have little fine tuning first time out

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Good thinking

[@MrHabitat009]

Dude you should be a specialist for garmin. When people have this much information and confidence in the system why wouldn’t they go to any other company. Super impressed and very excited to find your videos. Found you on a Reddit page by few people recommended you.

[@bronzebackbrownies]

The lack of information on the internet for a simple lvs 34 orientation of the tranducer is brutal. 2 mins watching this guy and I'm all set. We'll done bud !!!!! P.s, the instructions that come with the live scope suck

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

No doubt they do

[@shakyleg5929]

In car audio you want to run your signal wires away from your power wires. There is an electromagnetic field around any carrying wire so if you isolate your livescope wires you may not get any bleeding from other wires

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Great info bud

Don't know if you covered it but what is your jig setup? Do you have a jig and then split shot above it? Or is it a barrel swivel? So I have had LiveScope for months. I don't know much about how to tune it. I'm a slow learner so I will review your video and tweak my unit.

[@perryforsberg]

hi i am looking for advice on which sonar to buy. Ps21 or Lvs32 or Lvs 34 i have a Bayliner 2052 daycruiser and what i want is to see in front of the boat when i am going to dock in a natural harbour so there are no rocks in front of the boat.i want to be able to put the sonar on the transom and see in front of the boat about 5-6 meters

[@bobbycolson1957]

Thanks not only for giving settings but explaining why

[@outlaw2513]

I have lvs 32 and was wondering if lvs 34 plus is that much difference? Also,was wondering is you can hook lvs 34 plus up to lvs 32 box,or do you half to buy the whole system?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Yes 34 is much better in my opinion. Yes they can use the same box but you’ll need to update to at least 2.57 on the black box

[@bobbycolson1957]

I go back to this often..thanks

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

[@charleshoodmanhood7874]

I have a question about the power supplied to the GLS10 and the 93SV graph. I run Livescope on my SS107 Bonified kayak. I have connected to a Dewalt 6aH 20 volt battery. Which seems would be enough for about 4 hours. This is due to the 20 volts supply amperage at half of the rate a 12 volt supply. So I carry 2 of the Dewalt batteries for 8 hours of fishing. On my 93SV shows 18v on my graph screen. Is this adequate power for the black box and 93SV?

[@charleshoodmanhood7874]

Please tell them also about the voltage of the battery how higher voltages such as 18 v will make your graph perform brighter and crisper.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

@@charleshoodmanhood7874 I don’t think it actually does. It may provide longer runs times because of increased amps. I’ve got a whole video on the power stuff I put out recently

[@bassngal3314]

Thank you for all the time and effort this is amazing!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

[@snowbound17]

This video is fantastic, wish I found it sooner.

[@maxcole3930]

Are you suggesting the gls10 box & head unit have it's each own individual power or them to share power together but separate from everything else?? In my PA12 360 kayak I run a ultra 106 SV, steady cast & lvs34 on a single amped outdoors 32ah 14.8v lithium . I put my diy ammo can battery box behind my seat & have a 10awg marine wire from it inside my haul up to my front hatch where my gls10 box & power come from my other devices. I have ext same voltage at my unit & devices as directly from my battery. It's seems to work well for me. Doesn't mean it couldn't be improved on though. Like anything can be! I've only had this set up sense winter.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Either way will work.

[@Ralph-x9s]

I really enjoy watch your video on panoptics , i just installed it on my garmin kraken on the starboard side is this the forward orientaion ? Is there a email were I can send a photo of my install?

[@chrismoore8237]

Hey man. Great detailed livescope review. Huge help. One question. How would you use pitch angle?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Pitch angle is used when ahrs (stabilization) isn’t working properly

[@kelvinlloysellis5976]

Great video, I have a question what voltage should the dedicated lithium battery be ? 12 or 24? does it make a difference?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

The black box can handle 24 but the units aren’t rated for it

[@a.scottdagata9274]

great orientation explaination best i have seen !

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Thanks bud

[@danuw3lls]

Ignore the battery and wiring parts (Follow Garmin's instructions) and its a pretty good video

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

What parts of the battery and wiring do you disagree with. Nobody follows Garmin advice I guarantee uou

[@TheChadcooley]

Do you connect the ground on the black box and the screen straight to ground? I hear so many people say they don't.

Hey Garmin guru, New to the GARMIN 93sv UHD. I have sucribed and watched all of your videos and found they very educational. My question where can I find out how to get the Gain and distance plus and minus buttons at the bottom of the screen.

[@MichaelScottFishing]

Than why do all the pros use the touch screen version like the 126SV on their boats? and seem to be very successful with them..

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Most of those are units given to them. A vast majority of the crappie pros use the 1222 versions. Straight from Garmin mouth. People who use gps map units don’t need to be convinced to buy people who use echomaps are who their marketing is aimed at.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I have a 1243 also and use it also. Just prefer the 1222

[@MichaelScottFishing]

@@The_Garmin_Guru It would make more sense if they were sponsored by garmin that they give them the very best gear for them correct? I mean im sponsored by Humminbird and they just sent me 2 solex 12s and an Apex 16 for the new skeeter, but I also got a garmin 12 for the live, which I had to pay for myself because honestly Garmins live is far more superior, but humminbirds mega 360, mega down and mega side are better than the rest..Which is what brings me to your channel, a lot of us watch you...

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

@@MichaelScottFishing I appreciate you watching bud but I was told by someone from Garmin that they are an aviation company and fishing is something they do on the side. But I would def agree with your take on it. Heck they won’t even talk to me about sponsorship 😂

[@davewalsh9163]

great job, something you could add would be understanding how to identify different types of fish on the scope based on your experience and how they display on the scope.

There’s a section in there on that

[@timpatton4563]

I have a question, why is some fish look like a pencil standing up and down and some fish are horizontal

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Depends a lot on species and how they are swimming into relation to the beam

[@scottketcham]

One thing you need to tell viewers. If you up grade an old unit to the new LVS34 you have update the unit and the black box
