It would have to be a 93 or 73, all the new lowrance small graphs have plastic mounts as well. It’s the cheapening of the world.

There is Garmin stainless steel mount available as an accessory and there is at least one after market metal mount also.

From those that have done the update say it removes a lot of the detail your use to seeing due to the new Color Limit feature

Even when you turn off the color limit you don’t get the detail you use too

Personally every video I’ve watched reminds me of Mega Live and I’ll be sticking with the current version I have now

I can live with a little noise and even the ghost tree to keep the detail I’m used to seeing

I wish that I had not updated mine. IT sucks, Like 1MoCast said, it removes a lot of detail and will change the colors as you increase the Color Limit.

You might want to email or call Garmin and let them know of your discontent with it

They are getting a bunch of call and say they are looking into it but if enough people voice their opinion they may be forced to do something rather than just look into it

I rolled mine back to the previous version but not because of the livescope worked. I really like it bass fishing.. The problem was everytime I turn my graph off my force trolling motor turned off. Called garmin and it is a software issue.

since the update, my unit will not power down. It's a 106sv ultra. I tap on power off and it does nothing. I hold the power button down until it says its powering off and nothing. I have to kill it with the main power switch on my boat... anyone else having this issue?

Question. I'm not real familiar with these Garmin units. And currently run three Helix 10 Birds on a network with my troller, two Ethernet switches, and three transducers that I set up my self. But have been thinking about adding a Panoptics Livescope. Is it possible to network two Livescope transducers for one Garmin unit? And alternate between the two? One for Forward mode, and one for Perspective mode? That way, I could switch between the two. Or would I have to manually unplug one, then plug in the other?

i am having a problem with network cable from Garmin over heating
First let me say i just bought 2 126 ultra sv one bow one console wanting to connect them bought a Garmin network cable
I plugged it in to both units it starts to heat up the cable so hot it started to smoke that's how I knew something was wrong probly only took just a couple of minutes to start smoking
i grabbed the wire is was scorching hot i unplugged it from both units they still work fine I have not been able to find anybody else having this problem Did google search.
I am guessing that there is a short in the cable just bad luck on my part to late to call garmin I am sure they will send me a new one once i send this one back.
Has any body else had this problem and if so what was cause and fix ?

Are you using the Garmin branded network cable? It's super expensive ($50 if I remember correctly) and is nothing more than a standard CAT6/7 RJ45 cable. I ordered one from Amazon for $8 and have had zero problems.
