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 shaft of your electric motor. It enables the transducer to be used for forward and downward views.

The Garmin ball mount bracket allows the use of the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer 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 barrel-style mount is compatible with all electric motor shaft diameters, including Minn Kota® and MotorGuide® models.

The kit includes the barrel 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 flat-head screwdriver or an 8 mm wrench (or a socket) to tighten the clamping collar.

The transducer is secured to the mount using the included locking button. Tighten the button by hand.

Yes, you can use the included low-profile hardware instead of the locking 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 block or another secure location. It is recommended to create a service loop of at least 25 cm (10 inches) in the cable, with the rotary joint centered on the loop, and secure it with black electrical tape (preferred) or cable ties without over-tightening.

You can mount the transducer on either side of the electric motor housing. It is recommended to mount 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 clamp:

Insert the clamp through the mounting bracket slot of the electric motor until equal lengths protrude on each side. Place the rubber liner against the motor barrel where you intend to secure the bracket. Tighten the clamp around the motor barrel using a flathead screwdriver or an 8 mm wrench (or socket).

When routing the transducer cable, 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-fabricated mounts may cause damage or loss of the transducer. Damage or loss incurred while using a third-party or self-fabricated mount is not covered under Garmin warranty.

Yes, to comply with FCC regulations and other similar regulations where 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 threading 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 by loosening and retightening it. For a more permanent position of the transducer, you can use the included low-profile hardware.

No, this product is the barrel mount specifically designed for the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer. The GLS™ 10 sonar module is not included with this mount.
