I Enjoyed your design and explanation....I’m building one of these tomorrow....one thing I’ve added to my mount that I wanted to pass along to you....I have two indexing lines that show the 20 degree cone spread on my vertical mount when in forward scan mode, I can use these lines to exactly locate a single fish at a distance. Because you view the 20 degree cone on a flat plane, at a distance you may have a single fish on the edge of the cone and not exactly know where to cast. I use the 20 degree cone lines to rotate the transducer until I just lose the image and then I can align the cone angle mark on that side to effectively locate the target. It works! I have caught several large bass using this method that were not on visible structure. Thanks for all that you do! .
Aaron Bursiek ....sorry, this is about the easiest way to explain this that I can....sometimes it’s easier to show than explain. I’ll try to make a vid next time I’m out and send you a link....
WOW!!! That was too cool!! So Easy!! Goes to prove just how simple some things can really be, just got to look and think outside the box to achieve. I ordered a Summit mount for my pole which will let me adjust the angle like your mount will in perspective view. I hope it holds up well. If not, I will defiantly be making one from your design. Will probably go ahead and make it now just to have a backup. Thank you so much for sharing this my friend.
Hmmm...…… After looking at your design again, I think that I will make one using a piece of 1-1/2" angle aluminum which should be just as strong and I wouldn't have to bend anything at all. Just thought I'd share in case you haven't already thought of this. I won't have to buy anything since I have some in stock where I work at.
Couldn’t think of a way to do what you did. Ran into the same problem, I got a more flexible piece of metal for my mount so I was actually folding it together when I wanted forward and folded it back when I wanted perspective. This mount is awesome, you really are awesome man, thanks for the great info and walkthroughs. Not all the way through the vid but hope you have a build vid coming. Think I could get it done on my own because it looks simple enough but you always have great tips and I enjoy the videos
I have learned more from your videos than any other ones. Thanks again for posting the how to build videos, they are very simple understand and duplicate!
Hi Jesse, Thanks for your great videos! Believe it or not, after seeing your first mount I came to the same solution, folding the transducer under the pole. I use a L shaped bar on the Garmin bracket with the same effect. I never noticed the little angle on the transducer itself so I will correct for that, which will be easy due to the L bar. I measured it to be between 1-2 degrees by the way.
@@SouthernReelsFishing I hear you talk about Forward and Perspective mode. But what about Down mode? Is the transducer loose enough, on the U-bracket to rotate for Down mode?
The one thing I do differently with my setup is to actually turn the transducer to down mode before turning it to perspective mode. That way the view stays level across the 150 degrees as you tilt down. (The difference between the 2 modes on the pole is then 90 degrees. I switch the steering knob around 90 degrees so I can have only 1 arrow on it).
I don't get the 5° either. The factory mount has a bevel to avoid the trolling motor but they swapped that out for a 0° mount since I use a pole mount as well.
I see you have a couple of mods and designs of the transducer pole. Can you give me a link for your build you like the best on your boat for the livescope? Thanks

I'm new to panoptix. Anyway you can explain this s little better?
Thanks for the advanced tip my friend!

That would work it sounds like. Not as strong as having it through bolted on 2 sides but I'm sure it would work.

Thank you for the nice comment!

Thank you for the comment and I am glad that this helped you out!
Best pole mount design I have seen. Back to Lowe’s I go. Thanks
Haha no kidding, I just finally fished the last set up he had. Haven't even had a chance to try it out.
Now glad I didn't have time to do the last modification but did by the piece of aluminum. This one is quicker and simpler, thanks.
Just built my Jesse mount. Thanks... going to Destin Fl. tonight and try it out.
Have fun!
Thank you. What is complicated is to think of simple things.
I would like to see a build video. Great job on a simple design

That’s a great modification ya did, very simple but it’s works just as it should 👍👍

Another awesome mount video. Great job thanks!
Please do a build vdo. I don't quite get the 5° you mentioned. Thanks so much.
It seemed to need the 5 degrees to level the transducer
@@SouthernReelsFishing What you put in between to level it off?
I don't get the 5° either. The factory mount has a bevel to avoid the trolling motor but they swapped that out for a 0° mount since I use a pole mount as well.
That is brilliant - well done sir!
GREAT VIDEO LETS SEE THE BUILD VIDEO , WHY DID YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE 5 DEG ANGLE ? THANKS
To correct the transducer tilting off center when in perspective mode.
nice, thanks for sharing. people like to make things complicated. this is simple
Dam jesse!! Now that's bad ass!! Im gonna have to do that one.
Thanks!
Did you make a build video?
There’s a 3d printed version on thingniverse, it works pretty good for me.
AFishing Addict the first on I tried was 3D printed, it lasted
3 hours
Another great video! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good idea
I see you have a couple of mods and designs of the transducer pole. Can you give me a link for your build you like the best on your boat for the livescope? Thanks
