My Terrova Livescope Mount

[butlerrd]

I wanted my transducer mounted to my trolling motor but didn’t like all of extra cords etc. I came up with this solution and it has worked great. When I’m using Spotlock the trolling motor cable gets tight and rewinds before the Livesxope cable gets tight. I’m sure you could do this on the Power Drive motors as well, as long as you watched the cable tightness.

Materials:
•One Rod Sock made for 6.5’ rods
•Cable Ties
•A small bushing about an inch and half long that a 1/4” bolt will go
through and a clamp to hold cable off of the side cover of the Terrova.
•A longer 1/4” bolt to replace the short bolt that holds the side cover on.

Cut a small slit just down from the enclosed end of the Rod Sock. Run the LS cable up through the Rod Sock and out the cut opening. I heated the strands of the cut opening before running the cable and then taped this well after I ran the cable through so it wouldn’t frazzle out. Attach the big end of the Rod Sock to the LS cable at the top of the transducer with cable ties and attach cable to Rod Sox at the top where you made the cut with tape. Wrap the cable and Rod Sock loosely five times around the Terrova shaft between the motor and the steering motor. Then attach the factory end to the locking pin on the Trerova with cable ties. Run the LS cable down the side of the cover and attach it to the trolling motor with the clamp, bushing and longer bolt. Run the LS cable on to the LS Black box and you are done. Stows perfectly and has worked fine for me. No extra cables cluttering up everything. I think it looks neat and organized.

I have tried to explain the process and have attached some pictures but if you want any more info. fell free to PM me.

Hope this may help
some of you guys.

A couple of you have asked about my Livescope transducer mount. Maybe the Moderator can move this to the Terrova Transducer mounting section over in Electronics. If you need any other info or pictures feel free to PM me.

Thanks
