Overview

The Garmin 010-12846-02 is a transom-mount bracket for the Panoptix LiveScope LVS12 transducer. It is the mounting bracket used to attach the LVS12 to the back of the boat so the transducer stays fixed while the hull is dealing with chop and vibration.

A transom mount is a practical choice when you want LiveScope on a boat without a trolling motor mount, or when you want the transducer to stay in one place for consistent views. This is mounting hardware only and it does not change power, network, or chartplotter wiring.

Key features

• Built for mounting a Panoptix LiveScope LVS12 transducer on a boat transom.
• Transom-mount format for boats with a suitable flat mounting area on the aft hull.
• Useful as a replacement when an existing LVS12 transom bracket is worn, damaged, or missing.
• Mounting accessory only; it does not add electronics and does not require changes to LiveScope wiring or network connections.

Installation and setup

Plan the location so the transducer can sit in clean water and the cable can be routed without sharp bends. Dry-fit the transducer and bracket on the transom, then cycle the engine through full tilt to confirm clearance with the transducer, cable, and trailer hardware.

When drilling the transom, seal fastener holes with a marine sealant and support the cable as it enters the boat so it is not pulling on the transducer. After the first few trips, re-check fasteners and cable support since transom areas see constant vibration.

Compatibility and fit

Compatibility is specific to the Panoptix LiveScope LVS12 transducer. If your LiveScope system uses a different transducer model, mounting hardware can be different, so match the transducer model before ordering.

Use on board

This bracket is a good match for anglers and cruisers who want the LVS12 fixed on the transom for quick launch-and-go trips, skiffs, bay boats, and small center consoles where a clean transom install keeps the deck uncluttered. Like any transom-mounted transducer, results depend on placement so the transducer stays in the water at the speeds you plan to use LiveScope.

Maintenance and care

Rinse the bracket and transducer area after saltwater runs and inspect the mounting points for loosening or corrosion. If the boat lives in the water, check for growth around the transducer and clean as needed so the transducer face stays clear.
