Yeap there's really good deals! With my bass pro club card/credit card I got 106sv for 899. & Earned 42$ on my card. It does come with gt54 but I already found a gt56 & ordered it for $310. Which way cheaper than it would have been. Will b awesome set up for my Hobie kayak!
Better than my bass boat setup 🤙🏼
@@InstinctBassin yep I'm stoked about it & ready to start wiring & rigging it all up! I got amped outdoors 32ah 14.8v lithium battery. Only weighs 4lbs! I also have a steady cast on the way & I'm ordering the Lvs34 after Christmas. It's going be an awesome set up. I've been kayak fishing 8yrs now finally bought myself some electronics...
After running the wires through the hole you cut in the deck, did you apply silicone or another sealer to cover the wires and gole before installing the clam shell to keep water out?
I didn’t, but it’s probably not a bad idea.
Good info, thank you! Mine are in the mail right now and I am gathering all the other stuff to do the install 👍
Thanks for watching!
My problem is running the transponder cable to the transom down the side of the boat from the console. Its an old Ranger (1991), and they really didn't put a channel along the side to run cables, other than the steering cable and power cables which run down that side and are loose. So when I attempt to run a wire or thick rope down the side, it keeps getting caught on those cables... ugh!
That can certainly be a challenge, but you can do it. I'm not sure how tough it would be, but you could in theory always disconnect the power cable from the battery (if it runs to the console), then tie a snake or rope to the end where it was connected to the battery, then pull the power cable back through to the console, then wrap the transducer wire to it and use the rope to pull them all back through. Just a thought.
@@InstinctBassin 👍👌
I'm behind you in traffic right now! Just subscribed. Drive safe 😆
What size hole do you need to fit both wires through
It’s been a while, but I believe I used a 1.5” Forsner bit.
I’ve got a console flush mounted 93sv and no unit on the bow of an Avid bass boat I just purchased. I also just purchased the Navionics subscription and connected Active Captain. The flush mount screen is blocked somewhat by the steering wheel while driving. I noticed that your boat has a cover over what appears to be a flush mount unit. I’m thinking that the side RAM mount that you have would enable me to view the screen better. I'm not sure what to do with the hole left in the console however. I haven't remove the flush mount unit but I'm doubting that the U shape bracket is still attached, which I would need for the RAM mount. Can that U-shaped bracket be purchased separately?
Question: If I purchase another 93sv for the bow and connect them would I attach the G54 transducer to the trolling motor and both units would share the Navionics maps.
I have a Striker 4 Plus I use on a small boat which I may mount temporarily until I purchase the 2nd 93sv.
The old unit in my dash isn’t connected, and I plan on removing it soon. These folks ashmoremarine.com make great looking panels to replace holes like that. I’m sure they could make one for your boat as well.
I’m pretty sure you could order just the bracket for the 93SV so you could mount it on a RAM mount. Contact Garmin, or look on one of the Garmin User Group pages on Facebook.
Yes on your last question. 🤙🏼
If you need rubber grommets for your install go to HD or Lowes.......Harbor Freight's suck.
Question. Since the power cable already has a inline fuse would I need another fuse for it when putting it to a fuse box?
I’m no electrician, but I didn’t and haven’t had any problems.
Can you run 2 negatives to one female disconnect and 2 positives to the other and
connect to lithium battery using female disconnect? I have livescope and a chartplotter I want to run to one battery but need to disconnect easily for battery hence the female disconnect?
I don’t have Livescope yet or a Lithium battery, but it seems if you want to disconnect easily, alligator clips would be the easiest way to do it.
Great information Rob
The manual suggests 10 guage power wire. How do you connect 10 ga to the 18 ga power wire they come with?
10 gauge will work great, but unless you’re using Livescope, or making a really long run, 14 would probably be fine. That said, a wire to wire butt connector with heat shrink would be the way to go.
@Instinct Bassin’ I haven't been able to find a step down butt connector for 10 ga to 18 ga. Guess I'm going to have to solder the two somehow
@@bucknuts8824 If there is a BassPro nearby, try their service center. They have all that stuff and would probably just give you a couple.
Hello. Great video. I am buying the clamshell and screws with your links. Thanks. What size machine screws did you use to connect the ram to the garmin base?
It’s been a bit, but I believe they were just 1” stainless steel. Thanks for watching!
Thanks. I think I figured out they are #8 machine screws. The bottom of the ram is much larger though.
Just don’t get them too long or they may hit the boat and scratch it.
I'm installing a 106sv on my kayak i see you don't the the ferrite pieces that go on the positive and transducer cables close to the head unit are they necessary, is there a reason you don't have them installed in yours.
Hi good point. I have them on the bow one to reduce interference from the trolling motor, but I didn’t need them on the console.
Hi Rob
I just purchased my second lvs 106 I want to link them together and I want to get the panoptix plus with them linked together will I be able to view the panoptix on both units at the same time
If I’m following you correctly, yes. You have 2 106sv and 1 Livescope transducer right? In theory you should be able to see it on both screens, but you will need to tell one of the 106s to show the Livescope from that the unit it’s plugged into. That can be done in network settings. This isn’t something commonly done though, so I’m not positive about it. Good luck!
Rob how did you net work all three of your Garmin’s
I ran a network cable from each of the 93 and 73 to the 2 ports on the 106
I'm replacing an older 93sv 'plus' with a new 106sv Ultra. Can I use the power cord from the 93 for the new 106?
I’m not sure about the Plus model, but I just upgraded my Echomap 93SV to the 106 and used the same power cable.
@@InstinctBassin Will compare the cords when the new unit shows up but I'm thinking they are gonna be the same. Thanks for the reply Rob!
Good information 👍
Thanks for watching!
Why on earth would you wire to your nav light?
Yeah didn’t work great, so I moved it. The other fishfinder I had when I bought the boat was wired there, so I just did it the same way. But yeah, direct to battery or at least console fuse panel is better.
Word of warning. Those mounting screws are soft! I stripped the head of the port screw using my drill and had it set light but it still stripped. The screw was almost tight so I got away popping a snap ring in between the screw head and bracket.
Yes have to be careful with stainless steel. It can be too soft sometimes.
@@InstinctBassin Sure enough! I learned my lesson!
