I think Stan the Man has said the magic "woid"(Groucho Marx)!! With any grade of electronics the ultimate question that presents itself "Are the fish I'm seeing in BAM..."bite {active} mode" right HERE/NOW!?? I have experienced the bite turn on/off or off/on @same location/same day. Same electronics, same marks, even experimenting w/color changes. That being said if we had been successful same day/days at this GPS location, cheaper less sophisticated do not have the advantage that the Forward/side scan, LiveScope(big bucks) units provide at finding additional "targets"! The old adage "you can lead a horse to water, but he doesn't HAVE to drink it" pretty much sums up our catch-a-fish challenges. Also, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". Obviously, w/o ANY electronics you're asking Jose Feliciano's Guide service to put you on the bite. Long story/less Long a Live Scope setup is on my immediate list!
(reference- the Money-driven Pros...look inside their boats!)
That being said- What are the latest upgrades/recommendations on a soon2buy Livescope Panoptics system. I have several boats/electric motors that I use, and would like the simpler/cheaper swap-out transducer ideas(shaft mount or independent mount). Thanks in advance-

it is terribly good fun to sit around at the boat slip and stare at that scope and watch how fish act when you put a jig in front of them .
if i was serious about ketchn crappie i to would have me a scope , but alas i just want to play with them when i have time.
heck i am still having trouble convincing my wife i need a boat ! she is like why ? i dont get it .....

I admit that when I first got Livescope I set it up as a portable rig so I could use it on the slips. But I could not find a lithium battery locally so I set it up with a jet ski battery. It was too much work toting that battery around so I soon set it up permanently on the front of my pontoon.
I admit that I do use it when I am fishing the front of my slip where ketchn kindly placed a lot of bamboo. Since I have it on the front of my pontoon it would be foolish not to use it when fishing that area. But I also catch crappie at the sides of my slips and when I am poaching in my neighboring slips so I deny your observation.
Plus I know some other individuals whom I shall not name that also use it when fishing the front of that slip.

After the fall turnover a graph is a must. Crappies are in scattered pods and hard to find.
Maping is another graph feature that is very helpful.
