See I should have stuck to what I know. And electronics and such are not my strengths lol

I honestly don't know if there is a difference. I don't think I used any washers on mine and it had a knob/bolt fastener. The transducers are designed differently which may or may not cause the use of a different mount
 
My transducer is the 34. On another note, my boat has 45° track and I ordered the Seelite 45° mounting bracket. Have any of you done this, it's not to late to change the order.

Is your cranking battery lithium? My scope setup drinks electricity. I had to take all electronics off the cranking battery because it just didn't have the capacity. I now have 2 dedicated electronics batteries. I haven't ever had a setup exactly like yours tho.

I am learning literally by the minute. I appreciate any area that needs attention. I thought I had read not to use lithium to use as a cranking battery. If this was poor info I can get another battery. I have the 2 in transit, and can get another if needed.
 
I was told not to use lithium as a cranking battery also. I'm not sure exactly what you will have attached to the cranking battery. If you start having voltage issues on your electronics, or weak/no crank, it'd be the first thing I looked at. When my troubles started I pulled direct wires (oversized) from each unit to a master power cutoff and then to a dedicated battery. I carry jumper cables because I get flagged down several times a year for drained cranking batteries.

On my other boat I had the dewalt battery running my screen and box. Buy the big 60v flex batteries. I got the 9ah ones. One batter would run me most of the day. Be careful sliding batteries in and out. You will break prongs. Buy extra adapters and have it on a quick connect system. So if you snap one, your day isn't done
 
The 45* mount should be fine and yes the "black box" of Livescope continuously runs/pulls power even if your screen is off. If the small dewalt batteries are not up to what you like than a small lithium will run that thing ALL DAY. I tried to read up on lithium cranking and got some many different answers. From what I gather if your lithium cranking gets fully charged which doesn't take much then the motor will continuously try to send power to the lithium battery. The battery management system "bms" inside the battery disconnects the battery out of the equation for safety protection again overcharging and that non resistance power going back into your motor can burn something up. That's probably not the "technical" explanation but as good as this grease monkey can tell ya.
 
The Suzuki is a good motor, Tim. When Evinrude first started in the 4-Stroke business Suzuki was manufacturing them for them........as was Yamaha for Mercury.

the damage comes from the charging system on the motor, particularly a stator/rectifier/regulator setup. the same reason they dont recommend using an AGM on some of the lower hp motors. if you dont know for sure, call the manufacturer.

Heck basically the same kind of boat I have but an xpress. You'll love the lithium batteries for usage time and weight. What kind of trolling motor you getting and what's the setup battery wise for your Livescope.

I don't know about Suzuki but Yamaha says DO NOT use a lithium battery for starting

Yea, no way I'm using it on mine. I actually thought about disconnecting the ability for my motor to charge and just use the lithium to start without charging from the motor. I don't idle or run enough long distance to amount to much charging.
