    Default Millienium single rod holder as livescope mount


    Just hoping to provide an idea for those out there wanting an affordable Livescope graph mount. Some of these mounts out there are CRAZY expensive! Can’t justify paying $300-$400 for a mount. I’ve heard the argument that you’ve got so much in the electronics you might as well not skimp on the mount.

    Don’t feel like this is skimping at all and especially for $99. Used a Millenium single pole rod holder. Removed the rod holder, drilled one hole in the bottom of the metal bracket that comes with the garmin. Used stainless steel bolt and lock nut. Used the existing hole on the rod holder. Mount is VERY solid. Can be moved up/down/spun around/laid on boat deck. Hope this helps

    Tight lines!

    Looks like it does as much and more than my Cumberland Crappie mount (which doesn't lay down). Minimum tweak (drill & bolt)

    And the price is the same as I paid for my CC mount (which, by the way, is no longer made).

    You done good, buddy

    Using the same setup. Mine has a aluminum threaded slide to tighten it down. I could see where plastic slide could cause issue's
