Ok, the reason why I clicked this video is if it does matter with the LVS12. The LVS32/34 has such an angle so you dont need to worry about the depth, but the LVS12 does not have this range as these two transducers have, so for me it seems to be more important due to what im missing in the upper portion, since im only able to see 30 degrees vs 130. If I have my transducer too far down, I will not see my lure until its about 10ft away from my boat due to the angle of the transducer and depth im having it on my terrova.
I have played with install depths and think I can contribute. You (Randy) says that lower the install depth will help to see the splash down closer to the boat. I think it is the opposite. My transducer is 6” below the water, measured from the top of the transducer. Splash down is ~6.5’ from the transducer. The depth in my Sonar Settings is 0.5’. I used to be concerned about hull interference when the pole mounted transducer is set high and is aimed towards the opposite side of the bow. I was concerned that the sonar beam would hit the bottom of the hull. This has become a non-issue since it is not practical (almost impossible) to accurately drop the jig in the scope zone when fishing the opposite side of the hull. BTW - I vertical jig with a pole mount. For me, it’s a waste of time to try to scope this way. Another big plus to raising the transducer is that it is less likely to hit underwater objects. I hope this helps someone. If you disagree please comment back. I am always ready to learn… Danny
What should I set my install depth to in order to see my bait hit the water? Can you explain how that works cause I’ve been told to set the install depth deeper like 3 feet but to me that seems the opposite. Thanks
The issue to me would be : is 0 still 0 when the transducer is installed at different depths?? ●●● or am I,, for example,, dropping 12 feet of vertical line that's showing up as 10 or 11 feet based on transducer depth - ? 🤔
you may be the best fisherman that explains stuff ever.... seen them all, but you explain it for FISHING...regular old fishing. thanks!
I appreciate the kind words
Just bought a lvs34 with diy pvc pole now i know it doesn't matter how deep the transducer. Great info 👍
First and foremost the introductory Garmin Guru graphics are off the charts. My compliments to the graphic designer.
I appreciate that friend

Great video! I was wondering about this.
Awesome information

In this video I’m talking about actual install depth but I’ll tag a video for you talking about what you’re asking for

Hey Guru good comparison, I received my.package beautiful cap and fantastic baits Stay SAFE
Great question!
Good information!
Glad it was helpful!
That was real good
Are you using the Ultra @ Monitors? If so are they that much better?
I use an NBT marine monitor
So, you always set your install depth to zero on your graph, or did I misunderstand. Thanks
Naw I just did it for the test. I set mine to 2.5. I talk about that in another video
I had seen the video you referenced, but I thought you might have changed your thoughts on that. Thanks
@@quintriggins6557 no I just did it for the video so they would be the same being that they were different depths in the water
Do you have your bottom depth turned off all I see is water temp and time.
@@fishingusa2051 yea why would I need water depth on?
What color pallet is that?
Rusted steel my friend

That’s where setting your install depth on the unit comes in.
@@The_Garmin_Guru Wow!! Never heard of it - but I've only had LS for about 3 or 4 weeks - Thank You!!!
