Garmin Livescope: 8 Degree or 0 Degree Mount!!! How They Affect Seeing Your Bait!!!

[@jamestarzia79]

By far the best LiveScope videos! Thank you

[@joewinkler2168]

Great video again! I have mine on st😮arboard side. But its all of 10in above the top of the motor, but with a weed cuter it has a bunch of less weeds that wrap up the LVS.

[@TheFISHIN14]

Man! I needed this video! Thanks Bro🎣✨️

[@A-aronTrekn]

Thanks again for your in depth explanation!

[@olanlunn8284]

Awesome video and great information

[@mikemason9438]

Randy what I did to my pole mount was instead of buying a 0 degree mount I placed washers under my bracket that is screwed down in boat and put a level on pole that Lvs34 is to.

[@neverhomeguideservice]

Good stuff. I’m gona be making my purchase soon. Think I’ll take your course! Too much good stuff not to. Thanks for being so good at this stuff and sharing!

Good video. Randy, for those that mount the transducer to the trolling motor shaft could they shim the mount off the shaft so that it wouldn’t pickup the trolling motor motor? Just a thought… I went with Fishing Specialties pole mount to eliminate the 8 degree offset.

[@richardcrawford6287]

Well done! So give us some feed back on noise return 0 degree vs 8 degree. My LS is on my trolling motor shaft. I would love to go to a zero degree mount (dominator) but I have heard that there is increase ghost tree with the zero degree due to the beams bouncing straight back. Any thoughts on this?

[@umi415]

Do you recommend mounting the transducer to the motor itself. I use it on the shaft ATM, wondering if it's a viable alternative.

[@Crappie_Hunter_Seeker]

I just bought and installed the LVS 34. In the instructions it says "NOTE: The perspective mode bracket has an 11-degree angle to allow the extension arm to transition between all three sonar views." I am mounting on a pole. Should I use the 11-degree angle if I wish to use perspective mode? Or should I use the zero degree mount? Thank you Garmin Guru !

[@stevestone9648]

Thank you. That explains a lot. I have noticed that my targets like brush tops or standing timber is just to the right of the direction my transducer is pointed. Its mounted on the starboard side.

[@stevestone9648]

But i can still see my jig very good

[@johnnybee3444]

if you had the transducer on a pole , mounted on the right side of the pole with the offset used and you are to the right of the direction your pointed couldn't you just reverse the adaptor ( point arrows down ) and it would send the beam left ! It seems with the offset you couldn't have have a "perfect " straight forward in all distance from the boat ?

[@theadventuresofj9791]

Can you use the new degree offset to help with the offset on the 8 degree mount?

[@craiglivingston5441]

The fishobsessed dominator mount for lvs 32 and the one for active target is 0 degree mount with spacer that puts it far enough out that the beam doesn’t hit motor and it is beast of a mount . I absolutely love mine and no knobs too turn too make any adjustments

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Good info.

[@willroe1051]

I just ordered mine the other day so u do need to put the spacer in

[@craiglivingston5441]

@@willroe1051 yes I’ve got lvs 34 I called fishobssessed and they advised too use spacer provided when using on trolling motor shaft too put out far enough too miss motor with beam. Mine is working awesome

[@johntrotter9887]

Great Videos .. real helpful thank you. John T

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Glad it was helpful!

[@salty_angler1285]

Great advice as always! My question: With the 8-degree mount, should my transducer be mounted higher to clear the trolling motor? If so how high above the trolling motor do you suggest? Thanks..

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I recommend at least 6-7 inches from The bottom of the transducer to the top of the foot

[@traviswilliams5201]

Great video I have a question can you buy the perspective mount and put it on the trolling motor shaft would that make your transducer 0° since That bracket is L-shaped Or would your trolling motor still be in the way?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Yes summit outdoors sells a mount

[@ryanhill7770]

So does this only matter for down view not forward view

[@FreshwaterSouL]

Certain battery amp means alot. Lithium batteries are the way to go for a clearer screen.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I’ve covered that in other videos

[@redaylward4527]

If I understand your drawing, you are showing the beam going down and some of it blocked by the TM foot below it. In Forward mode, isn’t the beam going out (forward?) away from the foot that is below it. What am I missing?

[@redaylward4527]

Can anyone explain?

[@craiglivingston5441]

They have one for lvs 34 also and pole mounts

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Good info

[@marcusvidrine7688]

Interesting, on Ben milliken's subsribtion videos on IG he had the 0 degree mount on the shaft of his Ultrex (no other mounts other than the Garmin 0 degree) - however he angles his LVS34 a click beyond the white marking even more upward than the Forward mode so he see's his bait hit the water....and potentially to avoid the potential interference you are describing here? Thought?

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

He also has a hard ghost tree line all the time

[@lukehaynes481]

What does the 8 degree do to casting in front on forward mode.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

It’s kind of what I was talking about in the video. You gotta be aware of that when casting

[@mooch2u]

Included is a mount that attaches directly to the barrel of the trolling motor probably forward and down look only has anyone tried it this way and would think that there would be no hidden area then

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Very susceptible to stumps and rocks there

[@mooch2u]

@@The_Garmin_Guru Ya I wouldn't do it just wondering if anyone used it that way, as always great video

[@jasontilley2979]

Randy, I know this may be a dumb question however I cannot find the answer anywhere so far. Is the Garmin Perspective mount zero- or 8-degree mount? Thank you

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

It’s an 8 degree

[@jasontilley2979]

@The_Garmin_Guru thank you for your response. I'm a technical guy so I have another question. Does the plastic mount that mounts to the trolling motor or pole make it 8 degrees or does the zl shaped bracket that holds the transducer make it 8 degrees? Thank you for all that you do. Have a great weekend!

[@paulpierce6276]

Randy, would the summit mount fall into the 8° mount

[@chrisbusch1970]

you can adjust the summit mount

[@JulioPerez-cx1ot]

What mount do you run to have the 0 degree

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I run a summit outdoors mount

[@floydcaddy4411]

Well, 0° mount work whit perspective

[@brucebielby115]

Sir! Could you get the mic closer please. I can hear but it is difficult. Thanks!

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

Stupid bugs don’t help. 😂

[@allusrnameswrtakn]

I was gonna say the same. Content is good but audio is always awful

[@stevemeyer3147]

I suggest that you guys get a hearing test I can hear Randy just fine at the age of 69 but then I wear hearing aids or go the cheaper route try a doning a head set 😂

[@jeffreyriddle4645]

C'mon 20k!!!

[@Sith_sauron]

Here is a question I haven’t found a solution for. Sonar interference caused by the mega 360

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

What the question

[@atitagain7900]

Please invest in a microphone that you can clip on your shirt. It’s always hard to hear you over the bugs/insects in the background.

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

I have one but it really isn’t worth it to go thru the trouble of recording the audio separate from the video

[@marcusvidrine7688]

The new DJI mic would serve you well sir, the previous Gen would as well. Just my 2 cents

[@tferrill8748]

Those insects in the background are deafening

[@The_Garmin_Guru]

They don’t listen to me
