We had A LOT of questions after I released the first mobile LIVESCOPE videos. Here is detailed information on how I built my mobile LIVESCOPE system and where I use it.
In this video we discuss:
LIVESCOPE Transducers
How to Build a mobile LIVESCOPE system.
How to use a mobile livescope system on docks and boats.
How to use a magnet to mount your LIVESCOPE transducer.
What models of Garmin units work with LIVESCOPE.
What kind of battery we use to power our LIVESCOPE SYSTEM.
Mounting and positioning a LIVESCOPE system on your boat with angle iron.

Jeff, I REALLY Enjoyed your LIVESCOPE System project ! @ 69 yrs. old now, bought a 16 ft. brand new Lund Fury XL in 2016, paid $1,000.00 for a Garmin Echomap Plus 93 SV fishfinder, $1500.00 for a Garmin Panoptix PS 30/31 transducer for the $600.00 Minn Kota V2 Trolling motor... $500.00 for an
I-Pilot ...NOW Garmin comes out with this $1500.00 LIVESCOPE unit that I can't afford... I went through the roof ...UNTIL... I saw your BEST EVER FANTASTIC PVC LIVESCOPE System that is just doggoned Spot On !!! Reckon I'm gonna have to pick up more beer/soda cans , then next year start working on something like what you did !
Jeff.... YOU did an EXEMPLARY and OUTSTANDING project that you should put a patent on !
FANTASTIC Jeff !!!! KUDOS Big Time from this Ol' Nam Vet in SW Washington state !
Would work great on the Salmon/SteelHead up here !!! Thumbs Up !!!!! Ya outta be PROUD !
cruisin682002 why do u think he needs to patent it? Does that mean no body could put their on a peice of pipe with out sending Jeff some money? A cop driving around checking every body's boat to check if u paid your dues.
I been fishing for over 30 years and finally getting into the sonar world. This is a great idea because we fish different boat and docks.
Great work! Really appreciate the details. Gave me some great ideas on how to make my mobile setup with livescope for my inflatable.
Great Job of explaining that idea out, I am a big fan of being able to use this anywhere and on another boat, no limits. Thanks for sharing this idea.
🤘
Very useful and creative!! Great idea to make it portable! 👍👍👍
Thx!
Great video Jeff. Thanks for the info!
Welcome!
Great video Jeff. Thank you for sharing how you did that.
Thanks!
Thanks for creating a “how to” video. Very helpful. Looking forward to building and using this system.
Welcome!
How’d it turn out?
love this info, thank you much
Welcome!
NICE !
Very informative video. I certainly wish my dog was as obedient as yours.
Very nice set up brother. I’m gonna be moving around my boat with mine for bottom fishing and Crappy fishing I think I’m gonna do the same thing thank you
Awesome. Good luck out there!
Nice to hear real run time when using the full Livescope with this battery pack a very peopler pack for many portable users. 👍 Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter
put a couple of fishing rod holders in the back too. Great idea moving the gear from the Ice bag to this Plano box!
Cool man! I was thinking i could make unit portable
Nice!
I needs me one of them new hats. Sharp.
Coming to flefly.com soon!
Thanks a lot
that 1" pvc fits perfectly inside 11/4" pvc, that way you can rotate it any direction you like
Makes it where you don’t have to run anything in the boat. Love it.
Thanks!
By the way Jeff... I subscribed to your channel ! Yer GOOD !
Thx!
Great video well done
I too don’t want to attach to my Minnkota Trolling Motor I want to use between 2-3 boats
Plano Box is 1612
Looks like you could add the Dakota Charger inside the box as well
Thanks
Thanks for sharing. This is a lot of money to spend but worth it if we know what to buy and how to use it. Your set up is similar to my set up for the Lowrance. I don’t mount to trolling motor either. Also makes it harder for the dishonest people to help them selves too. Tight lines Jeff
Thx!
show how you set the inside of the box up and did you install of on switches. thanx
You may be blowing fuses because items on the box may be touching the terminals. thanks for a great video
Thanks for all the info. Do you ever have heat buildup issues in the box? I see lots of heat fins on the livescope unit and wonder how that will dissipate heat locked inside that orange box.
Not yet - There are holes in the box for the wiring.
I just bought the same system but cant figure out how to wire it all together correctly. Could you please explain how you wired the sonar module to the chart plotter? In detail of the connectors you used to connect to the power source. If you could make a video of the wiring process it self would be a lot of help for many people, me included. Thank You.
Does the mapping way points still work with live scoop or you new the original
Transducer that came with your unit?
Its Plano model 1812-50 . I bought it and set up my LiveScope and 9 inch ECHOMAP plus. There are echomap monitors that are cheaper but if they don’t have the “PLUS” they won’t work with Panoptix LiveScope.
Right on!
Fle Fly Fishing Tackle I’m really glad you did this video. Just what I needed to take my LiveScope to my favorite docks when I don’t have the time to put my boat in but still want to fish! Thank you so much! Also got some crappie kickers. I bought a 12v 10amphr Nocqua battery (1.5 lbs) from gps store for 119.95 with charger included. This settup is GREAT!
@@onlinenetbuy8129 Are you still having having good results with this battery and about how many hours will it power Garmin 93 sv and Gls 10 black box?
does the module inside the box run cool?
Will it get hot in the closed up box
So what would I have too pay total for this hole set up, and can i mount my pvc transducer rod to my box, and it would be even more portable, thanks for great idea
Jeff do u know the house on grand that sits on a point and has a light house there? It's over by the cliffs. That is where my Soninlaw and daughter and grandson is this weekend. Is that a good place to fish over there in that part of the lake
Fle Fly, could you give more specifics on the Plano container? Such as the dimensions/gallons? Thanks in advance.
Its the larger orange plano box from amazon. That about all I remember.
can u mount a small one bank battery charger in the box?
Couldn't you modify your live scope onto the magnet bracket so it rotates keeping you from having to move the magnet? Essentially, making it like an under water periscope? Seems like it would be more convenient and precise enabling you to move it 360 degrees in any direction. Your thoughts Jeff?
I like it solid. Any movement disrupts the signal.
Kerry Settle I was thinking the same thing. I saw anouther u tuber that built one using 2 different sizes of pipe. Now that said r u going to use a teacher in case it falls off.
Hi l like your vedio it's very good could I lave which on line store can get the unit and the livescope box with best and cheaper price
got it
I found a bundle at GPS store $2099.00 out the door for the 93Sv and the 32 series live scope
Congratulations congratulations!
Hey bud I’m building the same thing except I will have a 93sv and the livescope on a switch. Just checking to see if your battery is still working. I’m just not sure if the same one will be enough for me. Thanks
Not sure pardoner. Good luck though.
I did the math on this . The GLS typical usage is 21 watts . And the EchoMap is 15 watts . Say we want to run this system for 6 hours . Math time. GLS = 21 watts x 6 hours = 126 now with a 85% battery efficiency 126/.85 =148 watt hours now change it into amps 148/ 12 volts = 12.3 Amp . Now the EchoMap 15 watts * 6 hours = 90/.85 = 105 /12 volts = 8.75 amp hours. Add those together 12.3+8.75= 21.05 Amp hours . We need a 21 Amp hour batter to run this system without blowing fuses. We can run two of these batteries in parallel all day long without blowing fuses. Or just use 1 battery for the GLS and 1 for the EchoMap.
Wowza! Nice
Is that with the load of an additional transducer on or with without though?
@@anonymous_friend that's with the load of the transducer
Might think about pvc rail bolted to the outside of the box with a pool noodle on the the pvc rail. Accidents happen.
Thx!
Hey Jeff how many hours could you run that unit with the little lithium battery?
7 hrs pretty easy.
What charger did you purchase for that Dakota battery? And has it held up good?
It was a Charger off amazon. Nothing special. And yes.
Is the lithium battery worth the money? I know it weighs less than a SLA but it's not an arm breaking difference. As the charge on the battery decreases does it affect the Garmin?
Hell yes. No comparison.
I almost bet you're blowing fuses later in the day? As a battery goes below 3/4 of a charge the amp starts to climb. Not a big problem but if you would hook everything up to a main switch and turn it off after your using it or moving to a different spot it would help.
if the ckt resistance stays the same, as voltage goes down so does the current...ohms law
This a good video,,”if” I wanted a set up like this who could I get to build it?
Prob have to do it yourself.
Ok cool
How has the plano box been holding up? Is it pretty rugged?
Yes. Very durable.
Are you worried about the magnet coming off?
Maybe add a safety strap in case it falls?
That unit could be overheating in that unvented sealed plastic box?
Where did you get the magnet?
Amazon.
That is a really cool ideal and creative way to be portable. But wouldn't it work the same way if it was mounted it on the trolling motor ? I do like the ideal for my canoe. That live view is really awesome thank you for the info and sharing
Try it both ways -
Trolling motor is always moving. Sometimes not in the direction you want to scan.
@@randyshopher7146 Right On Randy ! Especially if yer using an " I-Pilot" on the Trolling motor using that " Spot-Lock" .
What type of box is that containing your equipment
Plano from Amazon.
@@FLEFLYChannel they have them at Bass Pro
un could mount a little solar trickle charger on top of the box to charge the battery while fishing,..
Lithium batteries charge differently from lead acid. It is not advisable to use a solar trickle charger on a lithium battery
