JUST ASKING!!!

[Chuck Adams]

I am very close to pulling the trigger on an electric Livescope mount.
I have watched every video, read all reviews and have narrowed my choice to 3.
Cornfield Crappie-Live sweep
Rite-Hite Turret
LiveScanner
I have zero problems with the manual unit I have now made by PoDunk Ideas and only want to clean my deck up a little is reason for change. It is a great product and Rickie is a super guy to deal with.
My question to members is ?
Have any of you guys used any of the 3 listed above?
If you choose to comment on how it is working for you I would love to hear about it.
Thanks
Chuck

I do not have one but have been looking/researching the Cornfield Crappie-Live Sweep. Hope ome of the members can provide reviews of the products.

I really like what I have read about the Cornfield Crappie Live Sweep but that’s a little ways off for me. I will look at the others now.

Hey Guys,
Just ordered the Rite-Hite model.
Should be here Monday.
Talked to rep at manufacturer and he was super helpful answering all my questions. Spent over 1/2 hour on phone with me. I like that model because the control head mounts straight in front of Ultrex instead of Port/Starboard like others. Pretty simple install and only draws 1AH when pedal is being used.
Don’t know if I’ll be able to get it on the water before I leave for Florida next Friday but will certainly have it installed.
I’ll give report on that process.
My PoDunk Ideas manual model will be for sale after. It is great mount and have zero complaints with it.
Thanks
Chuck.

Rite-Hite Turrett arrived today.

Super fast 3 day shipping that allowed me to strip boat and be ready to install.
I have it installed and as usual, my OCD perfect.
Very impressed with product an ease of install.
May not get out for sea trial until we return from Florida but from all indications I am going to like it very much!!

Unit rotates 340 degrees while others have limit switches set for 270 degrees. My choice of 3 RPM over the 5 RPM unit was decided on my fishing style while others may choose the faster for scanning while moving and covering lots of water I felt the lesser RPM would allow more fine tuning of the 20 degree forward view that I use 99 percent of the time.
I also opted to add the cable saver that mounts in existing holes in transducer.
Have Velcro above the black tape on the shaft and if that works after several times of being in the water I may remove tape.
The transducer mount on unit is on an 8 degree offset that allows install of Garmin mount now at 0 degrees.
We will see if that flattens out bottom on screen as manufacturer says.

Unit draws only 1 AH while in use.
Stainless shaft is about 5 inches away from Ultrex shaft and allows LVS32 to rotate without obstruction.

Not trying to promote sales for this but provide information to others considering this and/or other manufacturers.

I’ll have more after I get on the water but my plate is pretty full next week getting all of the grandkids to the condo in Florida so may be after Labor Day.

PM me if you have any questions on this unit and I will answer and help all I can.
Thanks
Chuck

Chuck, do you have a report on your Rite Hite? I am seriously considering this Livescope mount and would appreciate your opinion.
