0-degree swivel mount bracket (LiveScope™ Plus LVS34)

This bracket is specifically designed to mount the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer at a 0-degree angle. It provides targeted and stable imaging of the seabed and water column, optimizing the transducer's viewing angle for specific fishing applications.

Unlike standard mounts (on electric motor housing, on shaft, or in perspective mode) which allow multiple views or tool-free transitions, this 0-degree ball-joint mount provides a fixed and precise orientation of the transducer. It is optimized for consistent and reproducible readings, with no possibility to change the viewing angle during use.

The 0-degree ball-mount bracket is explicitly optimized for specific fishing applications where a fixed and precise transducer angle is preferable. This includes ice fishing and open-water fishing.

No, this bracket is a dedicated and optional mounting solution. It differs from standard mounting options (pole-mount, shaft-mount, or down-imaging mode) which are typically supplied with the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer.

No, the 0-degree swivel mounting bracket is designed to hold the LVS34 transducer at a fixed 0-degree angle. It does not allow changing the viewing angle once installed, providing a constant orientation for reproducible readings.

Yes, this mount is designed specifically for the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer module. Its design ensures optimal integration and performance with this transducer model.

Benefits include:

Stability: A fixed position ensures stable sonar readings.

Installing the LVS34 transducer with its mounts, including options like this one, may require common tools such as a drill, a suitable bit, a flathead screwdriver, or an 8 mm wrench, as well as electrical tape or cable ties for cable management. The specific details for this mount may vary, but it fits into the general process of transducer installation.

Yes, as a genuine Garmin product, this mount is covered by the manufacturer's standard warranty. Using third-party or self-made mounts may cause damage or loss of the transducer and is not covered by the warranty.

The 0-degree ball-joint mounting bracket is designed to provide a mounting option that ensures constant orientation of the transducer. Unlike systems with knobs that allow frequent adjustments, this bracket is intended for a more permanent and stable position.

No, this mount is specifically designed for the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer module. Its design and dimensions are tailored to this exact model to ensure optimal fit and performance.

Installing the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer (which this mount is used with) requires updating your Garmin display software to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. It is recommended to check the display software update instructions on support.garmin.com.

The 0-degree ball-mount bracket is designed for a fixed and stable position. It provides an option that ensures constant orientation, similar to the use of low-profile hardware mentioned in the LVS34 transducer documentation for a more permanent transducer position, without quick-adjust knobs.

To avoid obstructions in the sonar image, mount the transducer on the electric motor shaft as far as possible from the motor. This also applies when using this bracket to ensure an unobstructed view.

Yes, it is essential to secure the transducer cable to the electric motor or another safe location after installation. This prevents cable damage and ensures proper operation of the depth sounder.

The '0 degree' indicates the fixed angle at which this mount positions the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer. This angle is optimized for a specific view, providing a consistent and reproducible reading without the possibility of dynamic tilt adjustment.

The mount is designed to be installed on an electric trolling motor, similar to other LVS34 transducer mounts. Ensure the chosen location on the motor allows for stable installation without obstruction, and verify shaft diameter compatibility if mounting on the shaft.

Yes, this mount is an alternative to mounting systems that use knobs for quick transitions between sonar views. The 0-degree ball-joint mount is designed for a fixed and permanent position, eliminating the need for frequent adjustments and providing a constant orientation.

Yes. When routing the transducer cable, ensure it does not rub against the propeller, is not routed near electrical interference sources, and is not pinched when the electric motor is deployed or stowed. A service loop of at least 25 cm (10 in) is recommended around the motor’s swivel joint.

The Garmin 0-degree swivel mount (010-13228-03) is specifically designed for the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer module. Its primary purpose is to optimize the transducer's viewing angle by positioning it at a fixed 0-degree angle. This provides a targeted and stable view of the seabed and water column.

It differs from the standard mounting options supplied with the LVS34 transducer in several ways:

Standard mounts (electric motor shaft mount, shaft mount, or perspective mode) typically allow switching between different views (forward, down, perspective) and often feature tool-free transitions via hinges and knobs. In contrast, the 0-degree swivel mount provides a constant, fixed orientation of the transducer. It is optimized for scenarios where a precise and reproducible angle is preferable, such as ice fishing and open-water fishing. It ensures a more permanent and stable position compared to systems that allow frequent mode changes.
