Has anyone seen this yet? New way to mount livescope

Not really new. They have been out a while. I don't need one more thing that can break as it doesn't have a manual option like my All Aboard all sync mount. I also don't like the idea of one more thing on the floor taking up deck space.

But I know everyone has their own tendencies...

$714 is a lot. I just found a used wireless trolling motor on Craigslist, removed the head and foot, attached the LiveScope transducer on the bare pole and now have a remote controlled LiveScope. Easy to do and works great.Attachment 406665Attachment 406666

That looks like a great idea, but not to take anything away from you're rig. As per the Garmin engineers, they recommend not using zip ties on the Livescope cable. There are small wires in the cable and they can break easily.

Considering the looks like PVC pipe I would have ran the wires inside it. No need for zip ties that way.

Use to have Livescope mounted on a PVC pipe. Ran the cable through the pipe, just cut a wide enough notch in the PVC so the cable fits and still be able to use the Garmin mount.

Not PVC. Standard trolling motor pole. Too small to put wires inside unless I disconnected either end which I was not about to do. It is clean and turns on a dime either direction. Extremely easy to “bump” to adjust to staying on brush. Zip ties were no issue either as they were not cinched down. Just saying…

I am considering the All Aboard All sync, but have not seen one in action, are you still liking yours? Thanks

Looks like a AQUOS Haswing white bow mount to me.
