Live Scanner Mount For Lowrance Active Target and Garmin Live Scope, On The Water Review! 

Thank you!…you’re gonna love it, I seriously wouldn’t want to fish without it now…thanks for watching!

Thank you!…yea that variable speed option is priceless, sets this mount above the rest for sure!

Thank you!…totally agree, can’t imagine fishing without it now!

Thank you sir, I appreciate that!!

Thanks Kev!…send them an email and check with them, they’re great people to work with, maybe they’ll know a way to pull it off…that’ll be a sick setup!

Nice!…you’ll love this thing, one of the best upgrades I’ve put on my boat…huge help with live imaging!

Yea lots of good options out there, but I wouldn’t trade my Live Scanner for anything…can’t imagine fishing without it now…haha…Rite Hite has adjustable speed on the fly???…they must have added that, they didn’t have that feature when I looked at them…they sold em in 2 different speed options but you couldn’t adjust it yourself

Hey Leighton!… i’m sorry, I don’t know how I missed your comment, let me see if I can help! I have not used a stabilizer mount like the MKA-55 with mine and I haven’t had any issues yet… I have been trying to fabricate some thing on my own to give it a little extra support but so far so good, they do recommend using it though for obvious reasons I don’t have the swing mount either, it’s a nice option for sure but I just don’t think I need it with my setup…I have my scanner mounted on the Port side of the Ghost As for the Active Target, it’s a HUGE plus having it on its own graph… while it’s certainly not needed, if it’s in the budget I would highly recommend it… I run mine on a 16 inch screen all by itself and I can definitely see better detail having it isolated on its own graph, but even a 12 for Active Target is an awesome setup Hope al that helps, let me know if ya need anything else and thanks for watching!

Hey Jim!…yes sir, I aligned it so I have max coverage to left and right, but technically you can align it however is best for you…when I installed it I deployed motor and tested out range to left/right before tightening everything down…play with it and get it exactly where ya like it, you’re gonna love this thing man!…thanks for watching!

Thanks for the kind words Louis, I appreciate it!… I have not added that brace just yet, I’m thinking of trying to fabricate some thing for myself but up to this point I have not used a brace… If I can’t come up with anything on my own I will probably grab that one for supporting the live Scanner, but I haven’t had any issues just yet!

That is a bit confusing. What I mean is with it mounted like that my axis of rotation is not centered to the front of my boat. Is there a set screw or some means to adjust for different mounting positions ?

Hey Xavier, thank you!…I know exactly what you mean, here’s what I did to fix that…I took the arrow off the head (but you have to do this very carefully so you don’t break the tabs that hold it in place)…once you have it off, you’ll see how it sits down in there, there’s 4 grooves that line up…I rotated the arrow 1 groove to the right, popped it back on, and now it’s much closer to lining up perfectly with the Ghost head…hope that makes sense, if not let me know and maybe I’ll do a short video on it!

One thing I’ve found when searching and trying to keep up a good pace is to use remote for the Live Scanner and keep my foot on my Ghost pedal…this is why I highly recommend getting the remote with the scanner!…wait until ya see the new release, I’m about to post a video in the very near future showcasing the upcoming updates, they’re always improving this thing and the new release addresses this exact topic!

I think the great idea in this case is to use routing and run the boat using autopilot mode. I mean for example this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KhVO2C30ZpM.html&ab_channel=CharlesWest

Nice!…how are ya liking it?…and yepper, I got the 52” Live Scanner (I have the 47” Ghost)…reason I did that is because I knew I wanted my Scanner to sit higher above my Ghost for easy viewing, the head of my Live Scanner is just above top of Ghost…no issues at the bottom, it clears the head of trolling motor/prop with room to spare, it worked out perfectly!

I like the live scanner, still learning my active target. I Love My ghost trolling motor!!!

Hey Matt!... I run all lithium, two 125ah in parallel for cranking/electronics, and three 50ah for Ghost....hooked up to Power Pole Charge... they last crazy long, I can fish 2-3 days without plugging in... I actually have an on the water video here on the channel showing the set up, couldn't be happier with it!

The way technology is going I’m sure it’s only a matter of time!…lol…that would be sweet!

Hey Bill!…no issues with that, view is not blocked at all at any point…I’ll be releasing a video in the next few days showing the next prototype I’m testing for them, I’ll make sure to show that!…thanks for watching!

Thanks Paul, I appreciate that!!…hmm, that’s strange…I didn’t add anything to my setup but it’s pretty straight on (lined up parallel to Ghost)…I would shoot them an email and ask, that doesn’t sound right to me…any issues with performance?

@@NitroZ18Fishing I haven’t tried it yet. I ran it on the boat in the stowed position wasn’t going to the right fully when in slower speed. I contacted them about both issues. They said to run it in the water and let them know . The other issue they didn’t respond about being level

Yea that’s weird, I checked mine today when I was in garage, it’s basically parallel with Ghost shaft…let me know when ya get it on the water and how ya make out!

@@NitroZ18Fishing Thank you!!!

No prob!

I actually have 2 16” Lives up front, the top one is for Active Target only!

Hey Brett!…the live scanner weights approx 12 pounds, give or take…I’ve seen a few people run that exact setup with no issues!

Thank you!…you can view their mounts at www.thelivescanner.com tell em I sent ya!

Got em from Zdecals before they lost the right to make em…last I heard they can no longer produce them unfortunately…check with the company “Sign Impressions”, they may be able to help ya out!

It’s most likely interference from trolling motor…the Ghost is brushless so it’s much less likely to cause interference…I can’t say for certain that’s what it is without seeing it in action, but the Ultrex isn’t a brushless motor so it’s more prone to causing interference…if you do a search for “how to get rid of interference on your graph” you’ll find a bunch of videos on the topic!…hope that helps!

Doesn’t bother me much at all to be honest, it covers a huge area…if I wanna scan the small spot it doesn’t I’ll just turn Ghost to see the rest (behind/under boat)…that’s the only minor negative with these types of mounts, none of them spin a full 360 unfortunately…hope that helps!

My Live Scanner?…I got it direct from the company at www.thelivescanner.com Shoot them an email or call them, great people…tell em I sent ya!

Hmm, I’m honestly not sure about that one…I’m sorry!…I would shoot them an email or call em, they’re great to work with!

Thank you!!…My Ghost is the 47” and my Scanner is the 52” option, for this exact reason…I wanted my scanner to sit a little higher, works perfectly!…thanks for watching!

Thanks man!… I would absolutely recommend the true scan, I have a newer video on the channel showing what that one does vs the pro… It’s 💯 worth the extra money in my opinion!

Hey Randy!…no sir, they’re going strong…they’re about to release the next Gen in the very near future from what I understand…are you having trouble reaching them???

In this video it was there original scanner, but they’ve upgraded it a couple times since making this one!…check out their Quad Scan version on their website, that’s the one I’m currently running and it’s insane!…best mount on the market!

Send me an email, I have coupon codes for anyone interested!

Check out their swing arm option, depending on what TM ya have it’s an option you can add on that allows ya to swing entire system into boat for fitting your cover!…hope that helps!

@@NitroZ18Fishing Thanks! Will check it out. Ordered a Tracker Targa V-18 with a Lowrance Ghost in feb. Will get it in aug-sept.

Nice, congrats on the boat!!…let me know how ya like it, that’ll be a sweet setup!
