Pictures of my LSS-2 bow mount pole form Fishing Specialties

This is the 43 inch pole. I should have gotten the 36 inch pole for my boat but it gives you an idea of what it looks like. Top picture shows how far it goes below my boat. A little too deep, but easily fixed by drilling another hole in the pipe when I figure out the depth I want. Second picture shows it turned to the side slightly to see what is ahead on one side. Third picture is straight for normal both side viewing. Fourth is how easily it slips into and removes from the holder. Fifth is it stowed on the clips that screw into the deck. And last is top view. I really think I will like it since I have the Xi5 and it auto turning would blur out my pictures all the time, and no wires from the trolling motor this way by using this and the US2 in the motor.

His don't look bad either, but it seems the one I got is pretty simple and only cost $60.00 + shipping. I think it's 53.00 + shipping for the shorter version like I should have bought, but I'll cut it down. Pretty simple fix. But I wanted to make sure I got under everything... Well I sure did, About 3 foot if I have it on the deep setting....LOL but it's an easy fix drill a hole and cut the pipe off. It's about 18" under the boat as it sits now in the pictures. Pictures makes it look a lot bigger than it is really.

Jimmy, thanks for the pictures a description. I would also like a close-up of your Xi5 mount if you don't mind. I need to see it because we have similar type boats & I would like to use my MK mounting plate if possible.

Thanks,,,,
