There are more than 1 kind of grounding for a reason! Goggle it! BLUETOOTH and RF may need a straight ground not through the battery Negative. This can cause static on all the units .
Is your GL 10 black box grounded to water ground if you have interference water ground this is RF radio interference all the new Garmin units have an earth ground or water ground. Some boats have a water ground in hull.
I ordered the 300 kit from Partsvu with everything in it. They told me that they weren’t sure the water impeller was going to fit for my serial number motor. I bought it anyways and it works perfectly.
Good video brother! I have a 90 hp, so it’s very similar. However, I notice that when I have it in gear and try to spin the prop shaft the drive shaft doesn’t turn with it. But when I turn the drive shaft the prop shaft will turn. Does yours do the same?
Drive shaft should turn the prop shaft and the prop shaft turn the drive shaft. It shouldn’t matter which one you spin, as long as it’s in gear. Thats why you can wiggle the prop a bit to get the gear splines to line back up when putting the lower unit back in place.
It has held up great. Had zero issues with it. I did last month get the GMS 10 network box though because I added another graph on the bow and didn’t have any more room to plug in another graph.
Cool video. Just wanted to say i got the knock off Magdraft and i like it now that i put eagle claw laser sharp hooks on it. The original hooks are terrible.
I fried the GS108 and even had a 5 amp inline fuse. I believe it blew the fuse because i had the fuse on the negative wire coming from the GS108 to the positive on the battery. You can look on the back of these netgear units and there is a small diagram that shows that the positive is the stem of the plug and the neg is the outer metal sleeve of the plug. Take a test light after you connect to battery and clamp (neg) onto the outer sleeve and put the point into the stem and if light comes on you have it connected properly without risking frying the netgear unit
I know this video is a year old but guys are still watching it and got the Netgear GS108 at Walmart for $48. The one you are using here shows that it is a 5 Volt. The GS108 shows that it is a 12Volt. I cut the power wire from the block and wired it with the intermittent white striped wire to negative and the wire with the small print to the positive. When I turned the GS108 on it fried. Got another GS108 and reversed the the power plug wires and it powered up with no problem. The positive is the wire with the intermittent stripes.
Ooo this isn’t good. I apologize that my video seemed to be misleading in your case with the GS108. That is strange that Netgear would not be consistent with their product. I will notate this in the description.
So Ethernet from black box to netgear and then both monitors to netgear? Also could I still use a 54tranducer on the back for the console but also see the live scope on the console and bow?
@@Bottombounceyes, that is how it’s done and your livescope will show on both screens. Watch my livescope install video and it will show how it’s set up.
Thank you for getting back to me! This was my first livescope install and it’s all new to me Sorry I was confused as to which cables were network cables I was thinking of the NMEA as the network and was unaware that the port on the black box literally says network. I just installed everything exactly as you did and it’s working great as of now, thank you man!
oh yeah, no problem. It can be confusing for sure. You may secure your network cables into your netgear box with some electrical tape. Looks a little janky but it works. I’ve seen other people get real creative and use a small plastic tackle storage box to secure the netgear box and drill holes for the network cables running into it.
For anybody looking to do this, you can get VERY cheaply get USB powered network switches. Having just snagged two $299 Echomap 74xsv from West Marine (crazy sale), I just bought a 3 port on Amazon for seven bucks, and plugged it into an SAE 12v to USB phone charger I already had on hand. Plugged in my LiveScope black box (the OG, from my icefishing rig) and it works a treat. For what it is worth, cables don't seem to matter; I tried one crossover cable and one regular old cat6 cable, and both seem to work great.
I got mine from bass pro but I see it’s not available there right now. Here is a link for the same one at Walmart. Power-Pole Transom Braced Kit Universal www.walmart.com/ip/1730470247 Here it is on the power pole website. power-pole.com/transom-braced-universal
but can you run both on livescope at the same time? like if you had a buddy fishing in the back that wanted to see what the front graph was showing on live scope?
Plug the Tx (transmit) which you would leave that one off and just plug ethernet port in to the graph or networking box and then put the adapter piece on ethernet to HDMI which would be the Rx (Receive) so basically you would probably just need the one that's labeled RX think that would work
@@belowaveragebassfisherman574yeah that's what I'm wondering so basically instead of having the secondary screen hooked up take that put the adapter in on it and plug it into the TV
@@belowaveragebassfisherman574I had a buddy who has the 10-inch I thought about trying it on his because it has two ethernet ports on the back of it and I wouldn't have to buy an Ethernet box just the ethernet to HDMI kit
Sorry man, I’m not educated enough on that subject to answer that completely. I used garmin network cables directly from my livescope black box and or garmin graph to the netgear box.
Very good video! That showed me that I can do it with the 93's. One question... What adapter did you use to go into the black box network slot? Thanks for sharing....
@belowaveragebassfisherman574 I'm sorry about that. The net gear switch to the live scope black box. The black box has a pin type connection. That still may not mask sense. I don't know the proper names for all that.
The black box should come with an adapter that connects to a standard garmin network cable. The garmin network cable will act just like an Ethernet cable to plug into the netgear box.
You can see how I hooked it up in my livescope install video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gaJuZ7dcyq4.htmlsi=U0I9U4Pdxzwi0Cai I hard wired the netgear box from a fuse box, to a switch, to the netgear box itself.
would this work for a 73sv on the bow and a 106 on the console ? the 106 has 2 ports and the 73 only one , i want to keep the bigger unit on the console
Yes, you won’t even need a network box because you have two network plugs on the 106. You will plug your livescope into the 106 via the livescope network cable and then run a garmin network cable from the other port on the 106 to the 73sv. They will link together without the box as long as they are both powered on. However, If you are using livescope, I would advise using the 73sv on the console and the 106 at the bow. You’ll want as much screen as possible if you’re looking at a livescope while fishing.
I really enjoy it. If I could afford a bigger boat I would absolutely have one. But I have multiple hobbies so I can’t put all my money in one place. I do like this boat though because it is extremely customizable. It’s a 2014 model so I can make modifications and run over shit and not worry. I’ve taken this boat anywhere from small state park lakes to Kentucky Lake, Lake Guntersville, Table Rock lake and Lake Fork. I definitely wouldn’t take it out on a big lake like Rayburn if the weather was bad because it’s a little too short. But I was on table rock in some bad weather with 2-3 footers and it did fine. I like to fish shallow water though so I can really take it just about anywhere I want. Hope that answers your question haha. If you have the option, get the 75 HP. I wish I had it. I have the 60HP and it was fine at first but like with anything else, I always want to go faster.
@@belowaveragebassfisherman574 That’s awesome, it’s gonna take me a few years to save up for a truck before I even think about a boat. But a bass boat like this would be an awesome value to get into fishing, I’m in Florida by the Gainesville area so places like Lake Santa Fe or the nearby rivers & lakes is where I’d be most of the time. Maybe one day I could get into somethin like this. $14k-$20k would be a good budget for somethin used if I got one at some point, & from the vids I’ve seen the fishing you do looks pretty fun. I’m no tournament angler by any means but a boat like this to just get out there & fish would be pretty nice.
I believe that mine may be a 5 volt as well. Of course it would always be better to run a 12 volt supply to a 12 volt electronic. However, I have not had issues out of mine so far in the last year.
Thanks for a great video. Where did you get the motor cover? Also, a shared tip - 50/50 mix of white vinegar and window cleaner makes a great motor cleaner.
I have tried two of these exact net gear box’s wired how your description says and both times they smoked and burned the inside of the box. Any idea why I know practically nothing about wiring so it’s probably an issue on my end.
I’m sorry to hear that is happening to you. That is really strange. If you go watch my garmin livescope install video at 8:25, you will see I have it rigged up with the black wire with white stripes as the negative wire. I’ve been running it like that since I made the video. If your power source/battery is too high in voltage, the same thing will occur.
@@kaibarnett9757 it is powered by my 12 Volt cranking battery. I do, however, have a 5 amp fuse in the line. Check out my garmin install video and it will clarify it. I have it rigged to a switch and then to a fuse block.
Believe it or not. When the motor cranks over, the impeller spins down below. If the impeller is dry, it could break off the fins when you turn over the motor. I would never crank my motor dry. Just saying. Otherwise great job on the video.
just running the engine under a min will do no damage to the impeller. it will not get hot enough to cause any damage. there is video on RU-vid that they tested this.
So the console transducer goes on the back of the boat? Where do you put the transducer for the bow mounted one? (Not the livescope, the one that came with the fish finder)?
I have one GT56 transducer mounted on the trolling motor and one mounted on the transom. They are connected to their respective Garmins. Transom to the console graph and trolling motor to the bow graph. You do not have to use both transducers if you have all of your graphs networked together. You could use the live-scope transducer at the bow and a GT56 transducer at the transom.
@@belowaveragebassfisherman574you have the two gt56’s? I’m assuming you’re just running them at different frequencies? I’ve got the 106sv at the bow and thinking about getting a 94sv for the console or the lowrance.
@@shaneadamsre yes. I cannot remember the frequency I’m running. I’m not at home or I would go look. But yes, I have one on the front and back of my boat for each graph.
@@belowaveragebassfisherman574 what’s the main reason to have a transducer on the front? I just ordered a cord to network mine together, so wouldn’t the one in the back work fine?
If your unit is new,It should have came with a book or you can google it on procedure break in hours required by warranty and it will give you the hours when to change the oil,lower gear oil and fuel filters . I installed the vesselview on my motor and it Bluetooth to your phone and you can keep up with the hours on the motor with that and keep a log of all the maintenance.
Thanks for the great video. I just finished up my Livescope install networked with a netgear switch. I had to use a GS105, which is a bit too tall. I took the feet off.
