I used the mount from Fishing Specialties , and a 12 inch , non touch display. That saved me $600. on that unit vs the touch screen.
I mounted the black box under the front deck . I have a blue wave , 22 center console , with side by side seating
just aft of the front deck.. I never fish off the deck anymore. The display unit is on a ram mount , on the floor of the front deck
which puts it at arms length from the chair. The mount for the tranducer is mounted on the deck , again within reach of my chair.
It just lifts out when you move , very user friendly.
The only settings I ever change are the forward looking distance ( 15 to 20 while fishing , 60 ft while searching and gain( 75 while fishing , bumped up while searching ).
I am no expert , but I have really enjoyed using the livescope.
MO MO, your settings are pretty much exactly how I use mine too. We both come to the same conclusion, Yeah! I also have a 19' BW for fresh water, and 22' BW for the salt. Both equipped with LVS. Tim

Has anyone had a issue with ghost images?
I have a big tree that keeps appearing on my screen. Just got off the phone with Garmin. they say it’s a problem with the transducer. They call it ghost imageing. So have to get a new transducer from Garman they will send with $1000 deposit witch will be refunded when they receive my transducer back in the mail.but they won’t have any available till the first of February. Grrrr!
Anyway just a heads up

Do you happen to have a screenshot or pic of your ghost image?
