Garmin Livescope Transducer Mounts

[JHoss]

What are y'all running for your LVS32 Transducers? I have a 0 degree offset that was on there when I bought the boat, but I can't get it level. It's always either pointing too far up or too far down. I'd like one that can be flipped to perspective mode quickly and easily on the boat. I've got an Fortrex if that matters.

Garmin, sells the perspective mounting bracket.  That bracket will let you rotate your transducer to a horizontal position.

I see it has gone up twenty bucks on TW.  You may be able to find one at the old price of $99.

@Fishingmickey Do you have one of these? Is it easy to adjust and obvious when things are lined up right? Just looking at it, I'm not sure how I would know when it was at the exact right angle when switching from perspective to forward and vice versa.

Hello JHoss,

     Yes, I have one.  In perspective mode the tranducer is rotated so it is horizontal instead of vertically oriented.  The cone angle of the transducer is 20° x 135° in forward mode so you've got a 20 degree V side to side and a 135 degree V top to bottom cone. I hope I am making sense. When you are in perspective mode you've rotated the transducer so your 135° is side to side and 20° is top to bottom.  There are also marks on the bracket for each setting (forward, down and perspective) position.

    It is also covered in the instructions Garmin has for the Live Scope transducers. Google is your friend here. There is a ton of information out on the webs and on Garmin's web site.

Good luck!

This is what I was wondering and wasn't seeing anything about it in the product descriptions. My buddy showed me one this past weekend that clicked into place, which seems like a convenient feature when making an adjustment on the boat.

I just picked up the Fish Obsessed mount and am really glad I got it. Much preferred even over the stock Garmin perspective mode mount.  Still offers all the viewing modes but lets me get it out to the side of the TM shaft and still remain in line with the direction the motor is facing.

Glad to hear this! I ordered one earlier this week and it should be here today. Hope to get it installed tomorrow and test it out Sunday.

You’ll like it. I have the LVS34 and got the Dominator with Z package but they have the same package for the LVS32. I added a 360 this year and due to limited space on the TM shaft I wanted to move things around and this mount does it perfectly. The 360 transducer sits on the left of the shaft and now with the dominator the livescope sits offset to the right but in line with the direction the motor is pointing. Nothing is on top of anything else anymore.
