    Default Motorguide Xi5 Wireless Trolling Motor - Freshwater - Sonar/GPS - livescope mount


    Has anyone mounted it to a xi5 motor guide. I don't see how to secure the cable since the shaft slides all the way up and down to deploy. The instructions say to attach cables to shaft. My guess is I will have to mount it separate from the trolling motor. Looking for ideas.
    Thanks

    Get a side mount, you will not regret it. Mounting on troll motor makes it tough to stay on target. Been there and done it.

    you don't want your livescope on your trolling motor ,, Let the TM do it's thing ( spot lock) and use a separate mount for
    your Livescope transducer. Look up Poleducer and fishing specialties, they both make good mounts ,

    there may be others out there.

    Good Luck

    Rickie makes an outstanding product called the Da Ducer. Professionally designed and built. Podunkideas.com. I have used it for many months and it is perfect for pointing exactly where you want it and it deploys and stows like a dream. Just saying...

    I have another da’ducer apparatus® model (just recently released) ... which can easily be used with a Ram mount or other quick type holding clamp ...
