    Live 16 Bow Mount

    I'm wanting to install an Lowrance 16 Live on the bow of my 18 Z520c and was looking for some photos of this set up and what bow mount your using. Currently have an hds 9 and Garmin 1022 on a precision sonar dual mount.

    This is how I installed mine. Straight mount to the floor. I don't have any other stuff up front though....

    I have two Apex 16's at the bow on a BBT mount.

    There's some pics of them in this thread: https://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=1162740

    I had a 16” Lowrance Live and a 1022 on the front of my 2008 z520. I have pics I can email you. PM me if interested.

    I don't have 16s on the bow..........but if I did, they'd be mounted on BBT mounts with the Warrior Series gimbals!

    I’d also add the big water fasteners from precision sonar

    I used the precision sonar mounts for 16's console and bow. Very nice set up.

    Here is one of my many YouTube videos that shows my HDSLive 16 graph on the bow of my Ranger Z20 deck. It also covers how I mount my graphs for maximum flexibility and interchangeability. Hope this helps you (if you want to see more content like this please subscribe):

    Ran a 16 on 2 520c boats. BBT makes the best sturdiest mount hands down. Everyone else tries to copy. I have the same on my R boat. Call Van he invented bass boat mounts and is still the king.
