My Invention for Live Scope Pole

I hope this works I will post after testing

I took an old donor motor-guide gutted all the wiring and cut the shaft down. Made up my own compact head for cable and gear and for now using the foot pedal from it.

I hope to test it this week some time

This has potential!

Nicely done. Hope it works.

That looks pretty dang cool Tiltman

Thanks guys, I like doing stuff like this. I have an idea for a lever to operate rather than pedal if the pedal ends up being a pain

also have a lower shaft support to steady it. Just haven't figured out how to make it quickly removable.

Am I reading this right? You’re going to have two pedals? One for the trolling motor, and one for the transducer?

Looks good, today looks to be the day to give it a try. Meet ya at ramp.

yes the ultrex and the other. If just crappie rods on the deck I dont forsee an issue but if so I have a lever idea figured out

I will be curious to see how that works out. Please keep us informed.

Several folks have done similar with old Edge trolling motors! I like how yours is attached to the Ultrex! Good job!!

That's pretty fricken cool!

Looks like clean install to me

Thanks guys , Saturday I am hoping to try it after work !

Finally have some test trips on this, foot pedal was a pain built a lever system mounted to the right of my graph. Went and tested with a buddy(soft tap) yesterday and while fishing was poor the pole worked great with lever. We did find that we needed a pointer on the head to know where its pointing so I made that last night.

I think he took some pics or video I will see if he can post them

Good to hear the test went okay. interested to see the lever!

the Livescanner version apparently has an adjustable scan speed compared to the Live Sweep Cornfield crappie version. seems they realize you need a different speed to scan for structure and a slower speed to find your jig, etc.

Got a chance to crappie fish with ole Legend Tiltman the other day. Fishing was slow, but we had a blast !!!! That livescope stick doo-hicky he made is bad a@@ . Sturdy, quick to deploy, etc.

Looks Good !

I like how it worked last night, I added a pointer to the head so I knew which way if was pointing.

I have a new challenge now, I ordered Mega 360 so I have to think about placement. The livescope works great the way it is but when I add the 360 I don't know if they will interfere with one another physically.

You should not have any issues with interference between the Garmin and Humminbird equipment.

What about Garmin and Lowrance? I’ve got an elite Ti at bow and about to mount a livescope set up next to it...

Thanks , I hadn’t thought of the electrical interference but was actually concerned with the physical part. May have to move the live scope pole is all.

Got to a deep stump I found his evening 25 feet , caught 15 with only one under 12 and two of em 2 lbs life scope and mega si together are a game changer for me.

How sturdy is the mount to the trolling motor? And what did you make it with? Looking for something similar. I like the concept alot! Good work.

Should have no interference with lowrance as well.

It’s pretty stout , version 2 tomorrow, now also have 360 so need to space them a little
