Okay guys, I've decided on a plan of action.


I'm going to return the LVS34 that was $1,200+ after tax
Buy the Ultra 106SV for $999 - gift cards = $699
Buy a used LVS32 for $330 locally from...

Well, I've been thinking about this at length, and I'm leaning toward the Ultra 106SV for several reasons...

1. Charts - It comes with fresh and saltwater charts for no extra cost, which I would...

Thanks, FC and Ifishinxs,

I didn't realize the Ultra 106SV was an older unit that won't be getting the same updates as the UHD2. That is a major factor. EDIT - I just found the Ultra 2, but...

Thanks for the quick reply. Do you think the UHD2 and the 106 are pretty comparable, when using the same transducer? Just a slight difference in screen size?

I just got a Livescope LVS34 and need to upgrade head units.

The choices I'm considering in the $1k range are:

UHD2 93SV w/GT56($1,199)
Ultra 106SV w/GT54 ($999) W/GT56, it's $1,819-...

Thanks, I appreciate it.

For me to use the LVS34 I would need to upgrade units. Would you recommend the UHV2 93SV or the 106SV Ultra? Any reasons for one or the other?

I just figured it out.
I have a 93SV Plus, and it does not support the LVS34 transducer. So I will either have to move up to a UHV or go back to the LVS32.

Thought I would share that with...

Yes. It gives the message when I turn on the livescope. If I unplug the LVS34 while on, it says nothing, but when I plug the LVS34 back in, it gives the "transducer not connected" message, which...

I just got an LVS34, but when I plug it in, it gives a "transducer not connected" message. Would this be a software update issue?

My engine was throwing warning alarms at the end of a trip. I installed Vessel View, and it indicated a bad oil tank sensor, so I ordered a new tank, replaced it, and all was good for a while, then...

Is there any chance that it’s the stator?
Seafoam didn’t help, and I’m trying to search the possibilities before going into her again.

If it is the reeds, any suggestions for reliable...

Oops, double post

More good replies!

I like Seafoam, I'll try that before running again. You never know!

This motor doesn't just shake, it smokes and is hard to start. (You have to give it throttle in neutral...

You are the second person to mention that to me. The top carb spatters a little. I may have to investigate the reeds a little more.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Yes to all of the above. Everything disassembled, every orifice cleaned, put back together with OEM kits. Gentle use of carb/torch tip cleaners. I've done hundreds of carbs in the past, so I'm...

All my nieces and nephews are rabid about bass fishing, but I can only take a couple at a time. When a neighbor decided to get rid of an old pontoon boat, I bought it, thinking maybe I could take...

In a perfect world, especially if you have a newer, high-end smart charger that's working properly, it's okay to leave them plugged in.

But if there are any issues, very bad things can happen. ...

Thank you for this post. I just put a 1989 Johnson 70, (J70TLCEM) on the pontoon boat as an upgrade from the Evnirude 50. It runs great, but voltage goes through the roof even at idle. Everything...

Took a look at that post, and there is a lot to digest. I need a nice day to go out there, pull the cowlings and try to locate all the stuff in the service guide.

In the meantime, Vessel View is...

CMC makes a nice tilt trim plate. They work great. But they are a bit heavy for this boat, and cost about $700 or so for the smallest version. I've been looking for a used one, but haven't found...

True.
I'm planning to dip in either truck bedliner or plasti-dip, but a bigger problem is the short duty-cycle of the unit. Only has a 10-15% duty cycle. Also, the piston seals are not made for...

I finally ordered it. Supposed to be here Friday. I should have contacted you first. I wasn't thinking. I'm sorry!

But maybe you can help me now. I need to service this motor. What stuff...

Tried to install VV, but my 10 pin connector only had a dust cap on it. No terminator with yellow cap, so not going to try it until I have one.

Just ordered a terminator. Will take about a...

I received my Vessel View monitor. I think I'm going to go install it and run the engine on the hose, and see what kind of readings I get. Particularly the temperatures. Maybe something obvious...

I am out in the woods, sort of between Richmond and Charlottesville. Not really close to anything. Zip 22960 Mercury Dealer search gives most of them who service as 70-140 miles away

The most...
