    Default Contemplating a GT-54 on the bow


    If I ran a GT-54 on my MotorGuide (X3 Digital) Trolling Motor (mounted straight off the point of the bow) would it interfere with my LVS34 that is pole mounted half way down the bow on the port side?

    I’d like to run Side Scan and FFS LS from the front. At this time I’m running. GT-54 on the starboard side of the transom.

    I am running one on the transom and one on my Ultrex, with the LS 32 on it no issues, just too much information....for this old man to process.

    After more thought and consideration, I don’t think an additional sidescan transducer installed on the troll motor will benefit me for the two following reasons.
    1- Unless the trolling motor is held on a straight path, the results will be “smeared” and not useful.
    2- I wanted to see results at the front of the boat instead of off the transom. But, by the time an underwater object was drawn on the screen it would already be behind the bow. And I’d still have to back up.

    This was posted in case anyone else was considering something like this.

    This is what I use Humminbird 360 for. I prefer sidescan for areas that I pass over to come back to or for pulling my crankbaits to see what they will potentially pass over.
    If I'm not at work or taking kids to their activities, you might find me on "The Rez" fishing. If not there, I could be in the garage working on my boat.
