Podpora v perspektivnem načinu (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-to-bottom view of the water column. This feature complements the forward and down view modes already available with other mount options on a pole or motor bracket, 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 water column visualization, ideal for an aerial view of the fishing area.Front view: To observe what lies ahead of your boat.Down view: To visualize what is directly beneath your boat.These modes can be easily switched using the provided adjustment knobs.

The perspective 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 motor shaft or 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 all components required for installation on the shaft of an electric trolling motor. This includes:

An extension arm for perspective mode.A mounting system for 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 bushing for shafts with a diameter of 25 mm (1 in) or less.Labeled parts bags are provided to simplify the installation process.

No, the perspective mode mount (part number 010-13228-00) is a separately sold accessory. It is designed for use with the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 transducer, but the transducer 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 on 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, please refer to your Garmin display user manual.

The perspective mode mount integrates with the Garmin GLS™ 10 fishfinder module. This module is essential for the LiveScope™ Plus LVS34 system operation and for using the different views, including the 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 flathead screwdriver or an 8 mm wrench (or socket) to install the mounting clamp on the shaft (although 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 at least 25 cm (10 in) long in the cable, centered on the motor’s rotating joint. This allows the transducer to rotate fully without tension.Apply 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 for the motor shaft diameter:

If the diameter of your electric motor shaft 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 bushing supplied in the D parts bag, wrapping it around the shaft before securing the bracket. This bushing is not required for shafts larger than 25 mm in diameter.

The tilt-and-swivel mount allows quick, tool-free transitions between views. Simply loosen the supplied adjustment knobs, orient the extension arm and transducer to the desired angle (using the alignment notches on the mount and transducer as a guide), then retighten the knobs to lock the new position. This makes it easy to switch between forward, down and tilt views.

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

Adequate ventilation: Ensure the location provides 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 visible.Easy cable access: Cables must be connectable without difficulty.Immersion protection: The module must not be submerged.

To reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and comply with FCC (and similar) regulations, the included ferrite bead must be installed on the transducer cable. Position the ferrite bead near the cable connector and clamp it securely 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 position. This allows for a neater and fixed installation.

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

To avoid damaging 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; electrical insulating tape is preferable.Damage to the wires or cable sheath can lead to transducer failure.
