MEGA LIVE SHAFT MOUNT Installation Guide
4. Secure the shaft mount with one of the included lock washers and 1/4-28 screws, using the provided
1/8" hex bit and a bit driver. Hand tighten the screw until the lock washer is fully compressed (see
the illustration Compressing the Lock Washer), and then tighten an additional 1/4 turn. Hand
tighten only!
WARNING! The screw and lock washer MUST be fully tightened. Failure to do so may result in
the Landscape Mode mount detaching from the shaft mount in the water.
5. Rotate the shaft mount until it is aligned vertically with the transducer.

WARNING! For installation on a trolling motor, disconnect the motor from all sources of electrical
power before you start installation.
WARNING! Confirm that your trolling motor or your universal mount is properly secured to the boat and
will not shift during the installation.
1. Your trolling motor or your universal mount shaft should be in the fully retracted (flat) position on
the boat deck for this installation.
2. For installation on a trolling motor, disconnect the motor from all sources of electrical power.
3. For installation on an Ultrex or Fortrex trolling motor or on a MEGA Live Universal, secure the
included large rubber pad to the inside of the shaft clamp as shown in the illustration Shaft Clamp
Rubber Pad Placement. Remove the backing from the pad and press the adhesive side firmly into
place against the shaft clamp.
For installation on an Ultrex QUEST trolling motor, rubber pads are not needed. Proceed to Step 4.
4. For installation on a trolling motor: With the trolling motor stowed, align the shaft mount and
shaft clamp around the base of the trolling motor shaft.
Optional: The transducer can be installed farther up the trolling motor shaft if desired.
For installation on a MEGA Live Universal: Align the shaft mount and shaft clamp around the shaft
so that the mount is approximately one inch above the bottom of the shaft.
5. Secure the shaft clamp to the shaft mount by installing the (4) #10-32 screws into the threaded
holes on the clamp using the provided 5/32" Allen wrench. Do not fully tighten.
6. For installation on a trolling motor: Rotate the MEGA Live Imaging transducer around the shaft
until it is parallel with the lower unit of the trolling motor (see Aligning the Transducer (Trolling
Motor)). This ensures the transducer is pointing in the same direction as the trolling motor.
For installation on a MEGA Live Universal: With the MEGA Live transducer in Forward Mode, rotate
the transducer around the shaft until the transducer's pinging element faces away from the
universal mount's handle (see Aligning the Transducer (MEGA Live Universal)).
7. Fully tighten the screws until the transducer cannot be moved on the shaft. Hand-tighten only!
