Downrod for Lowrance Active Target and Livesight transducer.

This downrod is 48 inches long and is large enough to allow the transducer cable to pass through the downrod.  This helps to protect the cable when in use and eases cable management as there is nothing for the cable to wrap about when scanning with the downrod.

The downrod ships with a strain relief ring to protect the cable as it exits the top of the downrod.

There are two mounting methods for the Active Target.

  1.  A disk to allow connection of either the metal transom bracket (metal bracket is supplied by Garmin and is shipped inside the livescope transducer box)
  2.  An adapter end to allow for connection of the Garmin shaft mounting assemblies (including Perspective view).
  3.  A small adjustable ram arm for forward down and perspective views.

There are also two handle options:

  1.  A solid 12 inch long handle.
  2.  A telescoping 12 to 18 inch long handle.

And finally extension tubes are available for use with very deep boats.  Typically extension tubes are mounted at the top of the downrod and serve the function of allowing the handle to be raised higher and thus be a bit more accessible.

To determine proper downrod length, use the following illustration:

Determine Downrod Length
In the illustration above, the downrod will extend about 20 inches above the baseplate.  The users feet are below the gunnel by about 4 inches in a Skeeter boat.  So there is 24 inches above the deck to attach the handle which rises 9 inches so the top of the handle will be 33 inches above the deck (about the height of a countertop).

Standard downrod length for Active Target transducers is 48 inches. See graphic on main description for information on setting it up.

Extensions are at the bottom to make the downrod longer.

The handle may require an extension to bring the downrod up to a more usable height depending on the depth to keel on the boat. Normally a 12 inch extension is sufficient.

Downrod End 2 Downrod End

Downrod end for attachment of Lowrance Active Target bracket system.

Due to the bulky nature and offset positioning of the Lowrance bracket we recommend the Low profile mounting for the Active Target.

Mounted to the downrod it easily shows the transducers view direction.

Riser/extension for handle. 4 Riser/extension for handle.

Downrod extensions are offered to raise the handle to a more comfortable level.
They are mounted on top of the downrod. If your distance from top edge of the boat to the keel is about 40 inches and you fish standing up, use at least a 24 inch extension to bring the handle up to a more comfortable height. Refer to the graphic above to help determine if the extension is needed.
