No, and have not heard of any coming loose. I was glad to get the new trolling motor updates and the new locking system put on it as I had heard of several bouncing out of the cradle if it wasn't strapped down

I just love the way the graphs can be removed for safe keeping during travel or storage without unscrewing anything and just the snap on, off feature. 

Can  you tell me the make/model of the graph mounts or where to get them?

Well I'm 62, and have not yet heard any voices or have gone half-blind, is that going to happen soon?  😄

I'll be 68 in March and I think I hear voices but can't really remember for sure.🙄

What was the question?

Bill, why two monitors at the bow?

One is devoted to the Live scope and the other to 2D sonar and GPS

Man, with a setup like that you'd think you did this for a living or something......🙄

As a longtime toy lover I'm beyond jealous!

Here is my setup

If you're gonna invest in this technology and you have the greenbacks, Bill is the guy to copy. For as long as I've known him, he has gone to great extremes to ensure that everything he owns is operating at max efficiency.

Guys right now the Garmin factory store has a 1022 bundle which is a 12" screen with a panoptic live scope for $2,700.00. The 1022 is a map unit but it also works as a screen for the panoptics. 

Troller and electronics does not mater if you have any bow unit you can still have 12" panoptics plus your existing 2D and GPS. They also have 7"-9" and 10" map units to run the live scope on sale. If your interested take a peek

Bill are you running a dedicated battery for the Garmin LiveScope system. It seems like it is a pretty significant draw on batteries from what I hear from my buddies that have them.

No, I’m running ProGuide series 31. Your buds are right they are thirsty 

If your running a tandem set on the console in addition to the bow, best to keep them on standby when fishing 

Have a buddy last year that was running series 26 I think interstate. livescope and 4 12’s. He was fishing a derby had both wells running along with it raining so the pumps were running on his Kitty. Garmin graphs kept warning him but he kept fishing and then it was over. 
Both the force and the graphs will tell you to cool it and they aren’t kidding when they say they need to be charged
