Which unit do they have on sale? I finally found the ad. I wanted to make sure it wasn't the 93 SV. That's what I have and they no longer offer updates for it. The UHD is supposed to be the newest one, I think.



So I bought the livescope and gotta say that I shouldn't have been such a cheapskate and waited so long to get one. I mounted it to the motor on the TM and put it in the forward position. Went crappie fishing with a friend today on a private lake and we found a big school suspended in open water and caught them until we got tired of it. We probably would have caught 8 or 10 fish without it.

Installing it was harder than I expected because the wiring in my boat wasn't big enough to handle it. I had to pull bigger wires through, and I can tell it uses a lot more power than I expected. I may have to add another battery, but it looks like it will make fishing a lot more fun. I have a cable steer TM, and that lets me aim it in whatever direction I want without turning the TM on. Thanks for telling me not to buy the perspective mount. I don't see any reason I would ever need it.
