    I know there is so much info out there on all of this but I am struggling actually figuring out what is needed.

    Long story short is my aunt passed away and left my Dad and I some money, and I would like to completely setup his boat with Livescope and a trolling motor. Also would like to be able to use the system on the ice. These are some of the questions I am struggling with:

    What screen do I get? How does it mount to the boat?

    I know there are different transducers for the boat and ice but do I need different transducers on the boat for FFS, side and down imaging? Than what for the ice?

    How does it all work with a trolling motor and what trolling motor to get?

    Do I need a shuttle for ice and what pole to get?

    What batteries do I need for the boat and ice?

    Any more cabling?

    For the most part I will spend whatever is needed as I said due to the money left from my aunts passing.

    Thank you anybody for the time in answering any of this, I know all of this info is out there but I am really having a tough time finding something that is more or less a parts list of what is needed.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    There are a lot of options out there keep that in mind.

    For the shuttle, Arclab and Summit are the top two there are others but just keep it simple. I say a shuttle as you can have it in the boat and use it in winter too. That is what I do and I like it a lot. I put mine in a milk crate to keep it a little steadier.
    For winter there are a lot of pole options out there. Go to Scheels and look and see what works for you and what you like.
    Battery lithium is a must for lightweight.

    Lots of options out there make sure you get what you like and what works for you.
