    The funny thing is youll start using the Jon boat more than your other boat cause its cheaper on gas and now has livescope

      Honestly… all I’m missing for my little flat 12 is livescope or mega live. I wouldn’t touch a fiber glass boat to save my life the more I think about it.

      @@turtsable they can’t take big waters like a fiberglass boat though. Unless it’s a deep v, I have a little 12 footer too and it gets sketch when you’re going through waves and rough water. Just got an old fiberglass for free that I’m restoring and I’ll be decking that out for the big lakes.

    You have to love the Garmin Livescope. I keep mine portable, canoe, trips to Canada, when I jump into mine friends boat. Going ice fishing Saturday & dragging it along too! Keep up the good work!

    Justin, if you have the 94sv like you said , you won’t have inland mapping,just coastal. You’ll need to buy a map card. The 94sv has coastal mapping and the 93sv has inland mapping.

    Consider Amped outdoors NMC 14.4 volt battery. They have higher voltage that garmin can handle. Improves the image even more for longer.They are very light. Works great on my 93 uhd with llvs 34

    @Grainraiser 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I have Livescope and spotlock on my 14ft skiff. Infact I have a 93SV in the front and back of the boat and they are linked. They cost more than the boat but it works for me on the lakes I fish.

    Awesome install Justin! I’ve got a portable unit almost the same I’m gonna throw on
    My Jon crispy collector and hit up choke canyon down here. I’ve got an electronic remote operated jig I made for live scoping that vibrates and varies in intensity. It’s the size of a 1oz jig. Also charged by inductive charging and waterproof internals. Any idea on how I could get this in front of anyone like yourself.

    Should be able to load the boat with those winter time slab crappie loaded up in those dock slips.
    I'm sure you was seeing them before with your phoenix but being able to get on them during the summer ain't so easy with every slip having a boat in it!

    Had my flat bottom boat 5yrs. Paid only $3k 25hr Big Cat Mercury and have a $600 fish finder on it. A good fisherman knows you don’t need all what you have to be successful. I’ll catch 10lb cats all day long but also catch that perfect dinner all day long.

  • @bcamcam2
    @bcamcam2 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    looks like you need to raise the transducer on the transom up a little. the plate at the front needs to be just above the bottom of the boat, if not it will catch water and splash all over the place, or worst case break it off the bracket.

  • @jweg.84

    What about adding a small solar panel onto the top of the motor? That should at least allow you a few more hours of battery especially on bright days.

    I just got my first unit (Vexilar Sonarphone sp200). I don’t know if you’ve heard of them. They connect to a phone or tablet.
    Being winter here in Ontario Canada I have to wait until April or May for the ice to melt until I can use it.
    But I am stoked!
    Great content as always.
    You’ve really inspired me to start my own TH-cam fishing content channel.
    Keep up the great work!

    Excellent review.. Was referred to this review by Dangle Nation. I’m (was) wondering about using such a setup in my drift boat for back trolling in a river- distance back 70ft. max, going from side to side looking for bottom contour drops where larger fish take shelter and hide in the currents. Do you think this would be a good application for that? I was looking at the Summit link you provided - excellent- do you think they would sell the complete unit all wired up or do you know any shops that do sell it as a complete setup? Many Thanks for taking the plunge and making this great video review.

    Wish you would have broke down the price and more in depot install. I also hope you record you installing the mount in the boat. I love your channel and have been watching a long time.

    LVS34 will only preform as good as the LVS32 on this unit, you needed the UHD.
    If your running the lvs 32 on the Phoenix, just change out ducers to get the most from your purchase.

    Dont judge the battery performance until the fourth charge cycle. Fully charge each time and fully discharge to recommended lowest battery voltage probably around 9 volts. Something most likely will go wrong the first two charge cycles to give inconsistent performance data. Over the next two charge cycles it will stabalize to almost as good as it will get. So on the fourth charge cycle take your run time analysis and 5
    Then determine if to upgrade and keep it for backup or just get rid of it. But do not just toss it to the side from first couple charge cycles. Really' What differance is under 5lbs in a battery that size going to make? Again very very important to do initial charge cycles through the full range of discharge. Dont re-charge early and dont under charge and use as low amps as you got. Half amp charger ideally for lead until battery is fully maintenced over a few charges then 1 or 2 amp trickle charges are good enough. No sense talking about lithium chargers, shorter the heat cycle the better.... Right? It is important to not create memory spots in the battery cycle for the battery's max life performamce. Which you are going to need with a small battery, especially when cold, so whencyou do charge fully charge them all at once.
    Personally i would just run two full size lithiums if money vs duration was the most important. And certainly if i had multiple boats and one sat for a couple months needing to charge the lead batteries every single time and shortening their life expectency the longer they sit under voltage. Plus have two small lithiums for portability(ice fishing)if that boat is its main home. So can save the life of the potable batteries.
    A battery is going to charge and discharge maximum number ot times. Lets hypothetically say 1000 times. Weather it is fully discharged or not you are still only going to get 1000 charges out of it. Being down a couple volts and only charge for 6 hours instead of 17hours does not mean you can charge it 3 times like that and count as 1 of the 1000 charge cycles. It will count for 3 of the charge cycles. As much as you fish I dont think having 2 small $200 lithium batteries last only 2 years is the smart choice because you need them fully charged each and every time because they are small. Versus having a full size that you can drain totally and have one of the portables or both in the unit for backup the few times it runs out between charges while on the water for 12 hours a day.
    All this is true weather you go with lead or lithium. Only weight, runtime and extreem cold amps/voltage will vary. I can understand having seperate battery for a trolling motor as a "must-have" but,
    Does a live scope really use as much power as a trolling motor over a full day?
    It is hard to compare battery maintenence between the two. Lithiums are hyped to be carefree charging but we know the charging is actually very sophisticated and highly regulated. Not leaving you much options without buying a manufacturing grade matcher/charger. And thats not an option unless your a tesla racing team with a japanese battery dream contact.
