What an awesome improvement over my Lowrance X-85 that’s 20 years old. Can’t wait to see what my crappie spots hold and look like next spring.

 

You'll love it. I have the same one. Been really thinking about getting the livescope. I almost pulled the trigger yesterday. Gonna sell some stuff first to help offset the cost.

 

I been kicking myself in the ass every day since i sold it. They're awesome.

 

I bought one of these at Cabellas in Avon on Black Friday. They were on sale for $599 plus I had a $50 off $500 coupon. If you opened a credit card it was an additional 10% off that. My thought process is you can’t go wrong with a Garmin! I’m glad to see the posts of you guys who have them and love them! Just got my boat in June of last year and it was killing be not having a gps and fish finder!

 

Well I bought the livescope the other day. Lol...I just had to have it. Now the fun really begins

 

Anyone put a swivel mount on the UHD 93SV?
Garmin states a swivel mount isn’t available for the 9”.
I found a Johnny Ray JR-300 swivel mount that should fit the base. Any experiences?
I need to swivel to see the screen when I am in the front seat.

mount that to solid piece and mount the solid piece to swivel mount Cisco.

 

I also bought one for 599. I have it hooked up in the basement and I like what I see so far. The detail on the maps are an improvement over the helix 7 I had. I like that you can shade the different depths if you want and you can draw your own maps if your fishing rivers. Can't wait until spring to get it mounted and take it out.

 

I pulled the trigger and just purchased one online off the field and stream website for $699 also put in my email and got 10% off with free shipping. Out the door cost was $676. I didn’t get the Black Friday $599 price but with taxes on that price I didn’t end up paying to much more than that sale price. Happy as a pig in **** . Been wanting to upgrade for a while now and inquired about a couple on the marketplace here but people wanting too much for used units. Glad I finally pulled the trigger. As much as I want ice fishing to be here now I can’t wait to try this out!

I got the plus 93sv in 2019 and it rocks, so you should love the uhd version.

I’ll let you know how the Johnny Ray swivel base works out King Fish The cisco and the ball ram mounts are nice but stick up too high. This
JR-300 is only about 2 1/4” high.

 

I got the swivel mount in today. Looks like it will fit just fine. Johnny Ray JR-300. It has the quick disconnect also. What I really like is it is only 1 1/4” tall. So the 9” screen won’t be 6 or 8” above the side of the boat. Should make for less vibration also.

 

Got everything installed. Had to move the rod holder mount to make room for the big screen. I have to wait on the warmer weather to install the transducer.
I didn’t realize Lund used to use cedar boards for their boats. I wonder whether they still do or now use something cheaper like white or yellow pine.

 

I would've done a more sturdy mount for that 9 inch unit...you need a heavy duty mount...that'll come loose over time...even says 'light duty' on it...and mounting it to something other than wood...should've went with a heavy duty ram ball mount...good bit of weight to that 9 inch unit...JMO...basically any unit 9" or above is considered heavy duty.

 

Don’t care for ram mounts. Those would be my last choice.
And what besides wood would you mount it to? With the aluminum backing plates and the locking washers and nylon nuts, it won’t be getting loose anytime soon.
Heck, my cisco tubes and cradles have been mounted the same way with only 2 bolts and they are rock solid after years of use. There is a lot more torque and stress on the ciscos than a fishfinder. I do appreciate your thoughts though.

 

I was just stating that the light duty mount itself may not hold up to the jarring of the lake over time...that unit has some weight to it...it may last you forever for all I know...I was just saying my thoughts.

 

I understand. Thanks for your thoughts. That’s why I posted it.

 

If anyone is still looking for one. I found em for $699 with no tax and free shipping!

Garmin ECHOMAP UHD 93sv w/ GT54 Transducer and Lakevu Maps

This includes the 93sv UHD and GT54 transducer with Lakevu Maps. These are brand new in the box with full warranty. This is the latest model and same head unit as the other head units priced at $899.99 with no transducer. The GT54 has been replaced with the GT56 so these are on clearance.

Looks like you can order thru Cabela's online today

 

Ordered mine today online from bass pro

 

the bss pro flyer doesnt say anything about a screen AND transducer tho ...think its just the unit without the transducer...maybe im wrong.....even the online sale doesnt mention a trsnsducer being included

 

Yeah I don't think the bass pro sale included a transducer...at least the one I saw didn't seem to.

 

Yeah, I don't why they don't just state whether it comes with one or not right in the description.

 

so went to cabelas today to get one of the 73sv they had on sale, nope all gone. but as the guy was looking in the cabinet for one he pulls out another box and says ""thought we were all out of these"" had a 93 sv in his hands... he says this looks like the sale one so he scans it....yep 93 sv on sale for 599
told him just take it up front dont even put it back i will take it
pays to be in the right place at the right time.

 

That's cool. It's a good feeling when something goes your way. Great unit, you'll love it.
