    That's not the one I want. while it will be for some. I want one that mounts up on the shaft, does the rotation, and has angle adjustments 0-20 degrees that could be used for either 0 or 8 degree tilt on LVS Forward and then 10-20 degrees for the Perspective vertical.
    My wife asks if I'm going to fish every day. I can't fish every day. Some days I might be sick.

    This is a link to a mount from a Summit Fishing ...

    I ordered one and it has already shipped. Planning on mounting it to the end of my Bowducer.

    Im not sure all this adjustment is a good thing?? last think I want to do is fiddle around trying to get the angle set just right while im fishing. Now something you could adjust the angle then easily jump back to that same spot every time would be ideal I think.

    The Garmin mount has a couple fixed spots for a reason Im sure. These are the ideal best angles. While you may get an image with something other than the correct angle its probably not ideal.

    I have a FS Bowducer, but do not like this mount. I don't really like having mine on the end of the rod. Hopefully the Garmin one will clamp onto the tube. If not I will sell the Bowducer, and get one that suits me better.

    I just ordered the FS mount. From the pictures on the Summit site, I don't see how they account for the Livescope wire extending out of the bottom of the FS pole as it does on mine.

    I just installed mine yesterday. The cable has to run up the side of the pole. The only way it can go. Don

    To mount on a shaft just get the RAM-B-404U and you are all set. It will clamp on you shaft and has the small ball to attach to the Fishing Specialties mount. I got one coming off of amazon for about $30

    Don't you mean RAP-B-404U? "P" in place of the "M"

    opps, yeah it's the RAP-B-404U. I got it today and it should work pretty well. My only little gripe is one of the claw sides is made to grab a small pole (a little to much circle). You would think if you get a size 4U (medium pole) or a 1U (large pole) they would relax the curvature of the one claw.
