Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but you can mark your line with ivory soap (or just put some soap near the line) on the aluminum and heat it until the soap turns black. Ivory soap turns black at the same temperature for annealing aluminum, so once it turns black, you can bend it safely without tearing it. Thanks for the vid!
Hey Jesse. Me and my dad just built this whole mount for my kayak today and it’s incredible. You gave excellent instructions! I really appreciate you putting out this types of videos. Thank you.
appreciate it man, you're the reason I can afford a livescope because of people like you sharing, I don't have to buy the expensive Pole and also the other accessory
Awesome video and one of the best thorough build explanations I've seen on You Tube...EVER!!! And I've watched literally thousands of videos! Usually always some key piece of information is not explained or explained very well, leaving the otherwise video worthless. You did both Excellent! Old School like...which is very rare these days with all the millenials on board...Thanks for keeping Old School Real! Cheers, and God's Blessings always! 🙏💖🙏
Thanks for posting these videos. I copied your build and upon completion, found your new bracket. I’m hoping to get out tomorrow to try out the Livescope. I plan to make this bracket in the near future. I should add that your sheepshead and trout LiveScope videos are some of the only brackish/saltwater videos out there. The videos helped me confirm that this would work for what I need.
Thank you for watching and commenting. I am glad you took the initiative to build your own mount! I did warn early on that I would probably improve the original mount but I didn't expect do to it so soon. Anyway the original is going to work great for you, I mean it literally is a direct copy of Garmin's design. If you feel the problems I mention are an issue for you then I would suggest trying the new setup. Thanks again!
Southern Reels Fishing, definitely! If I decide to switch, I have all of the parts ready to go! The new mount system is a brilliant idea. I am actually surprised that no one at Garmin thought of it before launching a $100 part. Anyways, I’m subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to your other videos. Your fishing is similar to the inshore fishing I do in NE Florida.
I really like the simplicity of your design. I made one for myself from the other video and tried it out yesterday. Worked great. Thanks for sharing your design. So much better than all of those plastic printed versions.
Your mount system is BRILLIANT. I just got a livescope from a neighbor, and hope to install it soon. I haven't seen any saltwater videos using it, but wondered if it could be done. That could be so useful that it is exciting to consider. SUBSCRIBED! Thanks for sharing.
I made mine today just like yours. Thank you very much for the great how to video! I'm going to try to mount mine using two one and a quarter tees. One tee mounted on the boat rail the other on my live scope pole with a piece of "all thread " and just pin them together. Maybe it'll work. Tight lines
This is awesome. I was about to start making version 1 of your mount, but I'm glad it got delayed. You should be on their mount development team 😀 Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Dude. So awesome to see you upload this. I’m literally on my way out the door to pick up the shopping list from your previous video. Can’t wait to put my mount together. Thanks!
absolutely brilliant work mate. I made your original design but haven't got to try it out as yet. I just finished making this new one and it looks the goods. Love your work. Thanks so much
that's the way it ought to be done. It's just the perspective mode pointer will be 90 degress off. I just use the pointer as a reference to the left side of the perspective screen instead of the middle of the screen. Thanks for sharing. Tim
Thinking the first couple of bends would have been much easier while the section of Aluminum was longer? It would have given 1 more leverage? Bend the first 2 then cut?
I know this vid is 4 years old but I'm assuming it would work same way with new lvs34 transducer? Is lining it up for the different modes not as complicated as the manual says? This mark has to be in this position, that mark has to be in that position for perspective, then 2 totally different mark positions for forward then another 2 for down? New to all this and just trying to figure it out
ok, I made on of the first brackets and sold that boat (Pathfinder) last june. Now have a Blackjack 224 and making another Livescope DIY. I’ve looked at some of the pre-made mounting systems and thought would like to try the DIY first before investing large $s. Have couple questions though. If I wanted to run the connector up the PVC pipe it would take a 1.25” pipe to accommodate the Livescope connector. that said then would the 1.25” pipe fit inside a 1.5” PVC pipe. I haven’t tried this yet so thought I would ask. Also with my boat it has a couple of the RailBlaza bases on the gunnel so I’m going to try one of their mounting plates to see if it will hold the pipe ok even when I might be trolling. I’ve already ordered a Ram mount C size as a back up. I used that design on my previous Pathfinder. So anyway, will be mounting all this when I get back to Grand Isle, LA end of next week. Appreciate all the work you’ve done sharing your experiences and trial and errors. Thanks, Michael
New subscriber, great video. I went back and watched your previous video, definitely prefer this mount to your original design. How tight are you attaching the U bracket to the transducer head? Should the foam washer be preventing the head from moving or should it be firm but not too tight for minor adjustments? Keep the videos coming.
Just looked at it again and really appreciate it. Would give you a double like if I could. Anyways, any chance you can make a few of these and post for sale? It looks simple enough but I don't have a way to heat it etc. Curious if you would consider that. Would be a great help. Also, as you turn it repeatedly, does it now wear out the pipe and get loose? Do you keep tightening it? Thanks again . Just superb.
Very nice... going to return the perspective mount I just bought and go w/ this method. I've been considering being able to move my new LiveScope from boat to kayak but the "black blox" presents a challenge... do you have 2 units between your boat and kayak or are you somehow able to work around the transfer issue w/ one unit? Thanks again!
Notice you spoke about using forward scan on livescope,,forward scan is why im thinking of spending the 2k but im just not convinced the livescope is as good as they say,,in you opinion is it worth the money,,i fish santee cooper lakes and need something to scan ponds and deep structure
Great demonstration! Explained perfectly! I would like to see your mount on your big boat. Thinking of buying a live scope, but it’s a bit intimidating with installation. Where is your black box located and what is your power source. Do you also have a Humminbird installed. Thanks!
I'm a kayak angler I just got 10" ultra & going add lvs34. I'm looking at different mounts & for pricing I think I'll try building one first. I have access to aluminum at work so I just have buy pvc what size pvc are you using? Can you use any smaller or not?
Thanks for sharing, helpful video! my livescope is on the way, but i want to start building this, and remplacing your botom attachement with a ram mount system... Do you know what type of thred is the original bolt of the lvs32? i will replace it directly with a ram mount ball to screw in it, but can't find the info... Thanks!
What size where your PVC pipes? I went to Lowes today and the 3/4in wouldn't fit in the 1in, so I had to go 1in inside of a 1 1/4in Also, how did you get an H-rail mount to hold that PVC pipe?
I use the 1 in inside the 1 1/4 on my longer boat setup because it needed the extra rigidity. On my yak I use a 1 inch pvc outer with a 3/4 inch irrigation pipe inner. Also all the fitting are the barbed type press in that the irrigation pipes use. The pipe is sized right to slide right into the 1 inch pvc.

This is an EXCELLENT video sir! I have my Lv32 transducer on my trolling mtr but when when I try and scan with it I don`t see my little position icon on my screen. You know that little circle that shows the direction? Can you help tell my what I need to do to get it on my Garmin HDU 93sv unit?
To be honest that function has always been buggy, if your calibrate the compass in the setting it will work, until you switch modes and then it stops. I never use it. I have an indicator that show the direction.
I use the Active Captain app from Garmin on the 8610 on my boat. The time you so it in my kayak I was streaming from my gopro that was filming the 74sv under the hood.
Great video! One question I have is how did you figure out where the front of the transducer is when it is in perspective mode. In other words if I was looking straight at the transducer that was pointed directly at me what would I see? Thanks
I just squared of each flat element on the transducer. There are 3 that are staggered. Pretty much 90 degrees off the middle element is straight ahead. A full proof way to line it up in while in the water point it at a small pole and line it up that way
Does the transducer need to be below the lowest point of your boat so that the boat doesn't block the signal? How far below the hull does it need to be?
Nice mount for the yak. I'm considering Garmin Livescope and bass fish exclusively. With the transducer in perspective does it pickup shallow fish between say 3 to 5 feet?
Hello my name is randy i just bought live scope and im going to attempt to build your design and put on my ranger R91 i really like the set up nice engineering what size was your pvc or cvpc piping thanks in aevance
Can you remove your livescope transducer off your kayak for security purposes. Like if you want to put it inside your vehicle during transportation and have to stop in somewhere and don't want the transducer just hanging out inside your kayak
Good stuff sir. I've got everything to build my first mount tomorrow morning, but I'm still not understanding the 5* angle and it's benefit? Is it built in side to side or forward to aft of the bracket? I'm just not getting why it is important?
@@SouthernReelsFishing Thanks Jesse. What was it that bothered you? Having the 5* slant or not having the 5* slant? Looking at the sensors in relation to the mount they appear to be on the same plane. I'm still not getting it but then again I haven't had mine on the water yet. Just built the bracket, without the angle. Maybe it will become apparent once I get it wet. Thank You
hy i hate to bother you but i got my mount installed and updated my echomap plus 93sv to latest software 11.20 and went fishing this morning and only had forward and down mode ,am i doing something wrong i went to setup and orientation and it only showed down and forward to chose from thanks ROD
Southern Reels Fishing that was it I called garmin today. And actually there was a new software out today 12.0. And 2.49 on the gls10 I installed this evening and it works correctly now. And thanks for the mount developing work. They told me that they had hundreds ready to distribute to retailers I told him I found one better than there’s and a whole lot cheaper than $99. Thanks again for the response and good luck on the waters ROD
Depends on where I am fishing. If it is shallow water less than 6 ft deep then yes most definitely. Deeper than that I think Forward mode still reigns supreme for finding fish. Perspective view is the tech that any shallow water fisherman has wished for for years. To be able to scan a huge flat as shallow as a foot deep 100 feet out in every direction and spot any fish present is amazing. To be able to track them and target them in real time is almost unbelievable... I honestly feel Garmin is marketing this Perspective mode all wrong...
I don't think the angle is needed. The top of the transducer is flat. The angle is 8 degrees on the Garmin shaft mounts to clear the trolling motor if mounted on one. From Garmin "The trolling motor shaft bracket features an 8-degree cant to reduce the effects of the trolling motor barrel interference with the transducer beam."
Hey Jesse, I enjoy your channel. Sometime, we need to get you and Braydon to do a collab. [My son, Braydon Price, RUclipsr]. LOL, he needs someone to teach him some basics of NC coastal fishing. I can't. I'm freshwater guy. Question, I built my mount off your ideas of the Ram mounts. But I have lots of flex. I wonder if this is acceptable... or did I buy a rubber version that should have been metal??? Mostly coming from the piece that glues into the T fitting? Any help appreciated
@@SouthernReelsFishing I called Ram mount. I'm getting all the flex in the rubber balls. They said they don't make a metal ball. So, I'll figure something out. It's on a boat. Longer length than a kyak.
Fantastic mentioning the offset of the transducers tilt! Did not think anyone else noticed it!
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but you can mark your line with ivory soap (or just put some soap near the line) on the aluminum and heat it until the soap turns black.

Nice work!
Thank you,this is so simple and cheap and I even feel confident I can do it 👊👊👍
You can do it!
I woouod like to see the mount on the transom. Looks like you have a ball mount and can tighten it quickly.

No problem!
Thanks for your in depth build.will be very usefull
You explain things very well. Please tell me what perspective mode is. Thanks.
What the length of your two pipes
Dude you are awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Is there any way to incorporate a lawn mower cable or something better to move the transducer so you don't have to retrieve it out of the water?

To be honest that function has always been buggy, if your calibrate the compass in the setting it will work, until you switch modes and then it stops. I never use it. I have an indicator that show the direction.
@@SouthernReelsFishing Thanks!
Can you use the Livescope while trolling? is the pvc pipe steady enough?
Yes, but I have a support cable that ties down low on the pole the help keep it in position
Jessie good job on the live scope videos!I was wonder how do you get your sonar images onto your cell phone?Thanks for all the info!
I use the Active Captain app from Garmin on the 8610 on my boat. The time you so it in my kayak I was streaming from my gopro that was filming the 74sv under the hood.

Hey Jessie which garmin livescope transducer do you
Use?
LVS34
Does the transducer need to be below the lowest point of your boat so that the boat doesn't block the signal? How far below the hull does it need to be?
Yes it does. And question 2 would be the top of the transducer should at least be level, or lower than the lowest point of your hull
GOOD VIDEO, your shop is to organized LOL
I wish!
How deep do you go under hull ?
Love your video
Thanks
Nice Job!
I had to join the navy to become a sonarman tech!
You figured it out in your back yard! Ha
Lol, thanks man!
Love your vids. PVC is legos for adults. Only thing about pvc is that it is heavy. Not sure if you can even by the thin schedule stuff anymore.
Haha yup!
what size are the two pipes?
Nice mount for the yak. I'm considering Garmin Livescope and bass fish exclusively. With the transducer in perspective does it pickup shallow fish between say 3 to 5 feet?
Yes, that is actually one of the best qualities of the system
Nice job. That’s pretty easy. Thanks
Hello my name is randy i just bought live scope and im going to attempt to build your design and put on my ranger R91 i really like the set up nice engineering what size was your pvc or cvpc piping thanks in aevance
The outer was 1 1/4 pvc I believe and the inner was 1 inch pvc
What is the piece on the RAM mount that connects to the PVC pipe on your kayak? I see it at 14:53 with the red knob?
That is a modified Hobie H-rail ram mount that I hollowed out to fit the pipe. Not the best option but it is what I had to work with at the time
I would like to see how you mounted to the boat
I have a video on that on my channel
Can you remove your livescope transducer off your kayak for security purposes. Like if you want to put it inside your vehicle during transportation and have to stop in somewhere and don't want the transducer just hanging out inside your kayak
Not the way I have it setup. Though I have put it in a hatch
What size is pvc?
Good stuff sir. I've got everything to build my first mount tomorrow morning, but I'm still not understanding the 5* angle and it's benefit? Is it built in side to side or forward to aft of the bracket? I'm just not getting why it is important?
It is basically leveling the transducer when in perspective mode. Not too important I guess, but it bothered me
@@SouthernReelsFishing Thanks Jesse. What was it that bothered you? Having the 5* slant or not having the 5* slant?

how do you recommend install pvc pipe to a bass tracker pontoon boat? need to clamp on side somehow.
Ram mounts are hard to beat. Go to there website and they have u bolt style fittings that you could use.
hy i hate to bother you but i got my mount installed and updated my echomap plus 93sv to latest software 11.20 and went fishing this morning and only had forward and down mode ,am i doing something wrong i went to setup and orientation and it only showed down and forward to chose from
thanks ROD
Sounds like the gls10 didn't update. Was the module powered up when you updated?

Nice video!!!
Thanks!
Southern Reels Fishing No problem.
I really like your ste up hear, can you just make me one?
I was thinking the same thing. I would just need the aluminum bar bent to attach to the pipe.
Perspective? Is that a livescope term .
On the standard panoptix I haven’t heard that
Term. So is that the same as the down view ?
No it is the newest mode garmin offers. So now there is 3 modes, down forward and perspective.
great what size ball mounts are needed???
On my kayak setup I use size B. On my boat I use size D
Southern reels fishing do you find yourself using perspective view more than forward view?
Depends on where I am fishing. If it is shallow water less than 6 ft deep then yes most definitely. Deeper than that I think Forward mode still reigns supreme for finding fish. Perspective view is the tech that any shallow water fisherman has wished for for years. To be able to scan a huge flat as shallow as a foot deep 100 feet out in every direction and spot any fish present is amazing. To be able to track them and target them in real time is almost unbelievable... I honestly feel Garmin is marketing this Perspective mode all wrong...
I don't think the angle is needed. The top of the transducer is flat. The angle is 8 degrees on the Garmin shaft mounts to clear the trolling motor if mounted on one. From Garmin "The trolling motor shaft bracket features an 8-degree cant to reduce the effects of the trolling motor barrel interference with the transducer beam."
Yeah it would probably be fine without it. But I have OCD so it bothered me lol
Hey Jesse, I enjoy your channel. Sometime, we need to get you and Braydon to do a collab. [My son, Braydon Price, RUclipsr]. LOL, he needs someone to teach him some basics of NC coastal fishing. I can't. I'm freshwater guy. Question, I built my mount off your ideas of the Ram mounts. But I have lots of flex. I wonder if this is acceptable... or did I buy a rubber version that should have been metal??? Mostly coming from the piece that glues into the T fitting? Any help appreciated
Id be glad to help your son if I can. As far as the flex is this on a boat setup or kayak? Also what size pipe did you use?
@@SouthernReelsFishing I called Ram mount. I'm getting all the flex in the rubber balls. They said they don't make a metal ball. So, I'll figure something out. It's on a boat. Longer length than a kyak.
@@martyprice5619 Size up the ram ball system. I use size D on my setup for my boat
@@SouthernReelsFishing Using C. Turns out that a little flex was acceptable.
Hey what ram mount is that. The part that holds ur pole. Where can you get it??
It a hollowed out Hobie H Rail Mount
Why and perk on the nylon nut?
Not sure what you mean?
Thank you
will this set up work for a 17 ft boat
Yes, I have it on my 24ft bay boat and my 12 ft kayak. It will work on anything with a pole mount
