Ok, I did it. I sold a kidney and purchased a 126 SV and the LVS 34. Do I leave them on the kitchen table or actually mount them?
I currently have twin 93 SV's mounted, 1 at the bow on the Ultrex troller and the other at the wheel of a G3 20' Bay Dlx. These are not the UHD's, and Garmin won't update them, but with the use of a port expander and ethernet cable, I think I can see the LS on all three screens. I'm having trouble deciding what mount to use. Bridge type? stand alone? What is the preferred ducer pole? I want sturdy and durability over cost (that guy really needed my kidney). Kidding aside, I want to do this once and be done, so I'd rather pay now than repeatedly upgrade. Also, in lieu of the lithium, is anyone running an Optima batt? My 93's are wired to the master switch, so the optima would just be running the 126 and LVS system. I usually only fish 4-5 hours at most, I'm thinking that's plenty of amp hours to run it. Any guys experts on this stuff? point me in the right direction

Optima’s are the worst marine battery made, if you want an AGM and don’t want to spend the huge money of the X2, then you’ll just be wasting money. There’s a reason why everyone is going to lithium for electronics and TM’s. You can run the group 29 Walmart battery if you want to save money, definitely don’t buy the optima over it.


As far as the sharing Livescope, why?

If you want a motorized pole, DD26 makes a good one.
