    Has anybody seen how the pros have their mega Live mounted?

    Has anybody seen how the pros have their Mega 360 and Mega Live mounted? Is it all mounted to their trolling motor? Is the Mega Live above or below the Mega 360 transducer? Is the mega live mounted on the shaft of their trolling motor or the shaft of the Mega 360?

    Great pic. I wonder if you can mount it above mega 360 transducer without any interference? With both running and pinging?

    On most applications that would have the mega live above water

    Guess I will be the test. I have enough crap on the front of my 1648 g3 jon boat sticking in the water. Trolling motor, Da Ducer with mega 360 mounted. ,and now a fishing specialities setup similar to the da Ducer for mega Live. Fishing submerged timber will be a challenge. I run a MK v2 power drive trolling motor and only thing I can attach to it is DI transducer. I can maybe get rid of the da Ducer. Slide the mega 360 into the shaft of the fishing specialties rod..mount the mega live above the mega 360 transducer. And eliminate one item stuck in the front of the boat in the water. Just have to see if both mega 360 and mega live have any interferance set up that way. That is the reason for the questions.

    I have a Mega 360 "No Mount" in combination with a Fishing Specialties Mega 360 mount attached to the side rail of my Pontoon. My plan is to mount Mega Live on the shaft of the Mega 360.

    My use of Mega 360 and Mega Live will be different than most and won't require the Mega Live to be rotated. I troll for Stripers and my plan is to have the Mega Live in Landscape mode and pointing backwards towards my trailing lures so that I can watch for activity and interest in the lures I am trolling. I have no idea if it will work for this application as the A-Rigs or U-Rigs are typically trailing about 50 to 75 feet behind the boat.

    Slydoggie , I’m going to try mounting the mega Live on the shaft of the mega 360 installed in a fishing specialities setup and just switched the mega 360 out of the da Ducer into the fishing specialties shaft. Removed the da Ducer and re routed the cables today. Keep you posted.
