live scope guys, 80 yrs. old and just bought a live scope bundle. echomap ultra 2, lvs 34 transducer and black box. ready to power up, the power cable for the echomap has 2 very small wires. brn. and blue, I can't find any info on these conductors. would one of you guru's please help me out? also it says to ground both units together, could I ground them to my alu. boat frame? any tips would be helpful. thank you
found the info, wires not needed, now in simulater mode and can't get out, help
got that done too, now having trouble with the touch screen, getting the setting I want, I'll figure it out sooner or later
The learning curve is pretty decent....once you figure it out that unit is a game changer!! I'm no expert but I try and help you any way I can....just pm me
This past weekend was only my 2nd trip out with mine and pulled a 30pc at Blackshear,I'm nowhere near an expert but I've done alot of research and know a bunch that have 'Scope. Make sure you put a disconnect switch on the black box to your battery. It pulls a continuous draw and will drain your battery. You also want to run the graph and black box on a separate battery from other appliances on your boat to reduce interference. I purchased a Li-Time 100ah lithium, watch their website they run good sales. Probably don't need one that big, but you will charge it more often. Next, get on YouTube and look up Garmin Guru, watch his video titled Livescope Masterclass A-Z: Your Last Guide Ever, it's a wheelbarrow ton of knowledge!!! It will answer many questions. I was very skeptical about going to Livescope for sportsmanship reasons. I'm not for the sniping(watching the jig all the way to their mouth). I use to see how many fish are on a certain structure/brushpile/dock, and if it's worth spending time or move to the next one. Also I compare it to my other graphs, I can't honestly say I've ever been 100% confident in using sonar, so it's a confidence tool. See the fish's depth then make my presentation just above them and just fish like I did before purchasing the Scope. Hope this helps, bobbers down and tight lines!!!Attachment 503139Attachment 503140Attachment 503143Attachment 503144
