    Default Flexible extension for homemade livescope mount.


    Have any of you used a flexible extension (for drills)to turn your independent livescope pole? I made a mount out of PVC and am looking to make it more user friendly. Was thinking about using a flexible extension so that I can easily sweep and adjust.

    Share some pictures, of what your doing. That way others can better give advice.

    I’m out of town right now, but can share when I get back. Have a basic PVC setup, but looking to add something to turn it without having to physically touch the PVC pole. I was thinking about installing a drill extension (similar to below), so that I could adjust the direction from near my rod holders or fish finder mount. Name:  IMG_0009.jpg

    An old foot controlled trolling motor mount could make for some hands free turning.

    You could use sch40 fittings and make a handle from pipe with an end cap

    I’ve thought real hard about an old trolling motor, but couldn’t come up with a way that doesn’t add a lot of clutter. I would probably have went this route if I could have mounted it under my Terrova. I’m already looking for a better way to secure the PVC pole when transporting, so that I can get it off if the deck but not damage the transducer.

    I do have a handle on the PVC, but since I put it toward the front it is on the opposite side of the rod holders.
