Suport în modul perspectivă (LiveScope™ Plus LVS34)

This mount is specifically designed for the Garmin LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer. It enables the perspective view mode, which provides a top-down view of the water column. This feature complements the forward and down view modes already available with other mount options on a pole or engine bracket, thus offering complete coverage of the fishing area.

The perspective mode mount, paired with the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer, provides access to three distinct display modes:

Perspective view: A top-down visualization of the water column, ideal for an aerial view of the fishing area.Forward view: To observe what lies ahead of your boat.Downward view: To visualize what is directly beneath your boat.These modes are easily interchangeable using the provided adjustment knobs.

The perspective mode mount is specifically designed to optimize the angle of the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer to enable the perspective view, which is not possible with a direct installation on the shaft or the electric motor hub. Direct installations on the shaft or hub restrict the transducer to forward and downward views only. This mount therefore adds an additional and essential visualization dimension for complete coverage.

The perspective mount kit includes the necessary components for installation on the shaft of an electric trolling motor. It comprises:

An extension arm for the perspective mode.A mounting system for attachment to the motor shaft.Adjustment knobs for quick transitions between views.Optional longer screws for motor shafts with a diameter greater than 42 mm (1.65 in).A rubber liner for shafts with a diameter of 25 mm (1 in) or less.Labelled component bags are provided to simplify the installation process.

No, the perspective mount (part number 010-13228-00) is a separately sold accessory. It is designed for use with the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer, but the latter is not included in the mount kit.

Yes, this mount is specifically designed for the Garmin LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer. Its design and features are optimized for this transducer model to enable access to the perspective viewing mode.

Yes, it is mandatory to update the software of your Garmin display when installing this mount and the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer. This update ensures optimal performance and access to all features, including the perspective mode. For update instructions, refer to your Garmin display’s user manual.

The perspective mode mount integrates with the Garmin GLS™ 10 sounder module. This module is essential for the operation of the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 system and for utilizing the various views, including perspective mode.

This mount is designed to be installed on electric trolling motors. The kit includes a mounting system on the motor shaft, suitable for this type of marine equipment.

To install the bracket in perspective mode, you will need the following tools:

A drill. A drill bit suitable for the mounting material selected for the GLS™ 10 fishfinder module and for the surface. A flat-head screwdriver or an 8 mm wrench (or socket) to install the mounting clamp on the shaft (even though this bracket is for the shaft, some fasteners may require this tool). Electrical insulating tape (preferred) or cable ties. A 5 mm Allen key (included in the F parts bag).

It is crucial to handle the transducer cable with care to avoid any damage. Here are the recommendations:

Create a service loop of at least 25 cm (10 in) in the cable, centering the motor’s rotating joint on the loop. This allows the transducer to rotate fully without tension. Use black electrical insulating tape to secure the cable above and below the motor’s rotating joint. Avoid over-tightening cable ties if used. Test the motor’s full rotation to ensure the cable does not rub or become taut.

Yes, there are considerations regarding the motor shaft diameter:

If your electric motor shaft diameter is greater than 42 mm (1.65 in), you must use the longer screws provided in the G parts bag. If the shaft diameter is equal to or less than 25 mm (1 in), you must use the rubber liner provided in the D parts bag, wrapping it around the shaft before securing the bracket. This liner is not required for shafts larger than 25 mm in diameter.

The tilt-and-swivel bracket is designed for quick, tool-free transitions between views. Simply loosen the included adjustment knobs, rotate the extension arm and transducer to the desired angle (using the alignment notches on the bracket and transducer as guides), then retighten the knobs to lock the new orientation. This allows easy switching between forward, downward, and perspective views.

The GLS™ 10 fishfinder module must be installed in a location that meets the following conditions:

Adequate ventilation: Ensure the location has good airflow to prevent overheating.Moderate temperatures: The module must not be exposed to extreme temperatures.LED visibility: The location must allow the module’s LED indicators to be seen.Cable accessibility: Cables must be easy to connect.Protection against immersion: The module must not be submerged.

To reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and comply with FCC regulations (and similar), it is necessary to install the included ferrite bead on the transducer cable. Position the ferrite bead near the cable connector and securely clip it around the cable.

Yes, if you do not plan to frequently change the display mode, you can use the included low-profile hardware (screws instead of adjustment knobs) for a more permanent transducer viewing position. This allows for a more discreet and fixed installation.

During installation, orient the bracket on the motor shaft so that the arrows inside the front half of the bracket point upward. The bracket must be aligned so that the central screw hole faces the front of the electric motor. The bracket in perspective view has an 11-degree angle to allow the extension arm to pass between the three sonar beams.

To prevent damage to the transducer cable, follow these precautions:

Always secure the transducer cable to the engine shaft or another safe location.Route the cable so it does not come into contact with the propeller when the electric motor is running.Avoid routing the cable near electrical wires or other sources of electrical interference.Ensure the cable is not pinched when the electric motor is deployed or stowed.Avoid over-tightening cable ties if used; electrical insulating tape is preferable.Damage to the wires or cable sheathing can lead to transducer failure.
