Megalive guys

[RyanJ]

Got megalive couple weeks. Currently mounted on Ultrex shaft. Really purchased for crappie fishing but could be nice for seeking out the bass as well. What are you favoring for a different style of mount choice….livescan? Targetlock? Manual pole mount? Looking into options so really open/new to this at this point.

I ran mine on the shaft for 9 months but just installed Target Lock. With the integration, functionality and it currently being $500 off I didn’t see any reason to choose another option. Plus if you already have power run to MegaLive all you need to do is change the fuse from 2 AMP to 5 AMP, install the hardware and you’re good to go.

Currently I have a cigaretter style plug adapter with 2 amp fuse I just plug into the port on bow for my megalive.

I think I would use something with a better power connection than this. I would be afraid that this kind of connection might affect image quality... but that's just me.

I completely agree with you on this. It's kind of my "temp" solution for the time being until I get a dedicated battery for electronics and do a full rewire on my boat.

Anyone use the pole mount from tackleshackllc? Looks like a good alternative between an automated option and having a pole mount on the front deck or rail on the boat.

Was this supposed to be 3 or 5 AMP? Finally installed the ML on my Ultrex and hoping to get it on the water in a week or two. If it works decently I might bite the bullet and order Target Lock.

Target Lock needs a 5 AMP fuse. See link.
