4. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. It is recommended to have this system installed by a qualified marine electronics technician.
4.1 Mounting the GPSMAP 1022 Chartplotter
The GPSMAP 1022 unit can be flush-mounted or bail-mounted. Choose a location that provides optimal viewing and access to the keypad, away from heat sources and excessive vibration.
- Bail Mount: Secure the bail mount bracket to a flat surface using the provided hardware. Attach the chartplotter to the bail mount.
- Flush Mount: Cut a template (available from Garmin) to mark the mounting hole. Drill pilot holes and secure the unit using the flush mount hardware.
4.2 Installing the LVS34 Transducer
The LVS34 transducer can be mounted on a trolling motor, transom, or through-hull. The most common installation for LiveScope is on a trolling motor for optimal real-time viewing.
- Trolling Motor Mount: Attach the transducer to the shaft of your trolling motor using the provided bracket and hose clamps. Ensure the transducer is oriented correctly for forward or down views.
- Transom Mount: Select a location on the transom where the transducer will be fully submerged and free from obstructions. Drill pilot holes and secure the bracket.
