LiveScope™ Plus LVS34-IF

The LiveScope™ Plus LVS34-IF transducer offers several significant improvements over previous generations, such as the LVS32. It provides enhanced clarity, better target separation, and reduced noise, resulting in sharper and more detailed sonar images—particularly useful for ice fishing.

The main difference lies in its installation optimization. The LVS34-IF version is specifically designed for mounting on an ice fishing rod, facilitating deployment and orientation in an ice hole. The standard versions of the LVS34 are designed for installation on the transom or on an electric motor.

The LiveScope™ Plus LVS34-IF fishfinder can reach a maximum depth/range of 61 meters (200 feet). Its field of view is optimized for ice fishing, offering a 135-degree angle from front to back and a 20-degree lateral angle, enabling extended coverage to locate fish and underwater structures.

To install the transducer on an ice fishing pole (not included), you will need the following tools:

Electrical tape (preferred) or cable ties to secure the cable.A Phillips screwdriver if assembling an optional Garmin ice fishing pole mount.The transducer comes with the necessary fasteners and a hex wrench for assembly.

Here are the general steps to mount the transducer on an ice fishing rod (not included):

If the rod diameter is 25 mm or less, wrap the rubber lining around the rod at the mounting location.Place the two halves of the shaft mounting bracket around the rod (with or without the rubber lining).Insert the screws into the shaft mounting bracket and tighten them using the supplied hex key.Place the transducer against the shaft mounting bracket and secure it with the neoprene washer and button.Secure the transducer cable to the rod or another safe location and route it to the GLS™ 10 sonar module.Connect the transducer cable to the XDCR port on the GLS 10 sonar module.Position the transducer for the desired view. You can rotate the transducer by one notch to change its orientation (from downward to forward-facing).It is important to ensure the top of the transducer is below the bottom surface of the ice for optimal performance.

The LiveScope™ Plus LVS34-IF sounder is designed to connect to the GLS™ 10 sonar module via its XDCR port. For full functionality, it also requires a compatible Garmin chartplotter, as specified in the product safety information.

The LiveScope™ Plus LVS34-IF transducer has compact dimensions of 161.7 x 77.5 x 47.8 mm (6.37 x 3.05 x 1.88 inches). Its weight is 1018 g (2.25 lb) for the transducer alone, making it easy to handle and install on an ice fishing pole.

Yes, if you do not plan to frequently change the transducer's display mode or prefer a lower-profile installation, you can use the included low-profile fasteners. Instead of using the adjustment button, secure the transducer to the mounting bracket with the supplied low-profile screw and metal washer. Then adjust the transducer's view and tighten the low-profile screw with the included hex key.
