    Default Another LiveScope newbie with a few questions


    Well if everybody aint tired of answering questions about LS I've got a few. I got a Garmin Echomap UHD 93SV about a year ago and just recently purchased the LS 32 transducer, black box and an Amped Outdoors 30amphour lithium battery. I run the 93SV on a Optima blue top dual cranking/deep cycle battery. Can"t remember the amp hours or CCA of the Optima. Can i run just the black box on the Amped Outdoors battery? Or should it be hooked to the same battery as the graph? Also I have the GT54UHD transducer mounted on a Fishing Specialties pole. Can I mount the LS transducer on the same pole or will the two transducers cause interfence with each other? Ok and here is probably the dumbest question of all. When i mount the LS transducer which way is forward the flat side or the pointed side? It isnt clear to me in the mounting instructions???? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    My pvc pole mount which is mounted on starboard (right side of boat) the bottom of transducer level will be forward mode. 1 click down is down mode.

    Garmin CS told me you can run Blk bx and graph off 2 seperate sources, they just need to have a common ground

    Les the port or starboard " of the pole/shaft " is what matters not the side of the boat mounted . Am I wrong ?

    I have my pole on the starboard side of boat & my transducer's on the starboard side of my pole too. If i had the pole port side i'd mount the transducer on the port side of the pole too just because it would be on the outside of the hull instead of next to it which would be less likely to hit it on. Truthfully it probably doesn't matter which side of the pole it's mounted on i'd think.

    Guess I didnt think of that.... makes good sense! Thanks
    Whats your thoughts on having it mounted on the same pole as another transducer? Do you think they will cause inference with each other?

    I run my 34 LS , Box , and 12UHD all off a 32AH Amped battery. More than enough for 2 full days fishing. You'll be fine to use your Amped for LS and finder and leave the cranking battery to start engine. That way there is no interference on LS components.
