Thats exacly what I did and the PVC works great. 3/4" schedule 40 grey PVC with a sweetping 90 for the handle, found at lowes for less than $15. It fits perfectly in the Endura bracket. I have about $50 in the whole set up.
Dosen't look as good as the high dollar mounts but works great if you want to save a couple bucks.

The battery is a 30 ah Motorcycle battery for a Harley.

The wiring diagram for hooking up the panoptix transducer assumes the 93sv is already mounted and powered, they leave the power cable for the screen off of their wiring diagram, it was confusing.

If you decide to mount livescope on your RT188, I think putting it in the forward box makes a lot of sense. Couple of details, you have to notch out the metal under the lid enough to drop the box in the ho;e with the cables already pulled through. Use flathead screws to mount the GLS10 unit to the side of the box, otherwise the screw heads will stop the box from going in.

Hey, just a quick question, Dou you not have an issue with your terrova hitting the roller on your trailer when loading and unloading on steeper ramps? I had to put mine on a MKA-51 quck release bracket so I can slide it back 6" when trailering/unloading the boat. I seriously thought I was gonna knock the thing off before I put it on.

I have not had that problem although I have seen it on other people's boats, part of the problem sometimes is how far the trailer is backed into the water. I back mine in until the side bunks are half in/half out, the Terrova doesn't hit the roller.
