For people with 360 and FFS, how does that work for you? Any mounting issues or tips? Do you have a seperate mounting pole for the FFS or put it on the trolling motor?
thanks in advance

It works fine together but you better start working out l, it makes retrieving your troll motor a pain. Check your pull cord and make sure it is in great shape if it snaps under the weight you fall hard!
Retirement best job ever.

I'd also add that all of that weight on the bow definitely effects bow control in big water, top end speed, etc. I had both, a turret for FFS, and two twelves up front for about a year and hated the performance drop with my rig. I ditched the 360 and turret. Mounted the FFS directly to the troller and I have my boat performance back.

thanks in advance Are you running one or the other now? I probably wouldn't use a turret for FFS as that just one more shaft in the water for drag and hitting an object. I like having my FFS on my TM shaft since my foot is on the TM foot petal anyway.

I run both on a Quest. With the dual gas shocks stowing and deploying isn't that bad.

I had both! Never used the 360 once I got the Garmin so I took it off and sold it. 360 was on the bracket that hooked to Ultrex and the livescope transducer was on the TM shaft.

They are great tools independently and combined. I have an Ultrex with the MEGA 360 on the port side of the trolling motor mount and the Target Lock on the starboard side of the trolling motor mount. I have double gas springs to make stowing a lot easier. The new Ultrex's have an accessory gas spring upgrade to handle the extra weight.

Put both on my new ultrex. FFS on a turret that has its own pedal to rotate. Can't really tell the difference in weight. Lifts much easier than I assumed it would. That's also with a bad back still healing from surgery

Just make sure to tighten the tm height nut every few trips. I noticed I get interference from vibration after a few trips but rasing the motor a little and making sure its tight made it go away. I thought it was a power issue but thankfully this fixed it. I've seen people buy entirely new setups because of interference on Facebook when this one little adjustment may have fixed it. It interfered with the 360 and the live sonar. Now it's great when it wants to work right
When I am not fishing I am thinking about fishing. And mostly what I should have done differently my last trip! #Brockstarama

I have FFS on a pole because I like to spot lock and look around, tried it on the TM one trip and ripped it off. Love being able to hand adj pole to find bait. 360 is on the ultrex and pretty much always on to see my waypoints.

Great combination of the two is a powerful tool! We sell a Fish Obsessed mount which will allow you to have options for placement of the livescope in the shaft to allow clearance of the 360! We are also offering Black Friday Deals on both the 360's and Livescopes!

I mounted both to my Fortrex; no troubles and very easy install.
The 360 does limit how deep I can set the shaft as the dome will hit the Fortrex's little support prong that folds up while the motor is stowed, but I never really need it deeper than it can go anyways.
