Barrel mount for electric motor (LiveScope™ Plus LVS34)

This mount is an essential mounting accessory designed to install the Garmin LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer directly onto the barrel of your electric motor. It allows the transducer to be used for forward and downward views.

The Garmin barrel mount allows the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer to be used for forward and down views.

No, this barrel mount does not allow the use of the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer's perspective mode. Perspective mode requires a specific extension arm for side-scanning.

This trolling motor mount is compatible with all electric motor shaft diameters, including Minn Kota® and MotorGuide® models.

The kit includes the barillet mount itself, a hose clamp (clamp type), a rubber liner, and a tightening knob for secure installation.

To install the barrel mount, you will need a flathead screwdriver or an 8 mm wrench (or socket) to tighten the clamp.

The transducer is mounted on the bracket using the included clamping knob. Tighten the knob by hand.

Yes, you can use the included low-profile hardware instead of the clamping button if you do not plan to frequently change the transducer modes, for a more permanent transducer position.

You must secure the transducer cable to the engine barrel or another secure location. It is recommended to create a service loop of at least 25 cm (10 inches) in the cable, with the rotating joint centered on the loop, and secure it with black electrical tape (preferred) or cable ties without overtightening.

You can mount the transducer on either side of the electric motor pod. It is recommended to install it in a location where it will not be shaken during launching, recovery, or storage.

Yes, it is essential to tilt the transducer correctly for the selected view to function optimally.

No, this barrel mount is specifically designed for the Garmin LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer.

No, the barrel mount is a separately sold mounting accessory. The LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer is not included with this mount.

To install the hose clamp:

Insert the hose clamp through the slot in the electric motor mounting bracket until equal lengths protrude on each side.Place the rubber liner against the engine barrel where you plan to attach the bracket.Tighten the hose clamp around the engine barrel using a flat-head screwdriver or an 8 mm wrench (or socket).

When routing the transducer cable, you must take the following precautions:

The cable must not come into contact with the propeller when the electric motor is running.The cable must not be routed near electrical wires or other sources of electrical interference.The cable must not be pinched when the electric motor is deployed or stowed.

Using third-party or self-made mounts may result in damage or loss of the transducer. Damage or loss incurred while using a third-party or self-made mount is not covered by the Garmin warranty.

Yes, to comply with FCC regulations and other similar regulations if applicable, and to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), you must install a ferrite bead on each transducer cable, near the connector.

Yes, if you plan to drill a hole or need to route the cable through a tight space during installation, you can remove the existing solid locking collar from the cable before passing it through. After routing the cable to its final location, you can install the included split locking collar before making the connection.

The mount is designed for stable attachment. Using the included clamping button allows tool-free transitions between sonar views when loosened and retightened. For a more permanent position of the transducer, you can use the included low-profile hardware.
