Lowrance Trolling Motor Shaft Mount for ActiveTarget Scout View

The Lowrance Trolling Motor Shaft Mount for ActiveTarget Scout View is a genuine Lowrance mounting accessory designed to position a compatible ActiveTarget live sonar transducer on a trolling motor shaft for Scout viewing. This configuration is useful for anglers who want a wider overhead-style view of underwater activity ahead of the boat while searching for fish, structure and productive fishing areas.

Lowrance’s ActiveTarget live sonar technology provides real-time underwater imagery through compatible Lowrance displays. For manufacturer information about the system and its available views, visit the official Lowrance ActiveTarget product information.

What Is ActiveTarget Scout View?

Scout View is designed to provide a wider view of the water column and structure in front of the boat. Rather than concentrating the sonar view primarily forward or downward, the Scout configuration can help anglers survey a broader area.

This makes Scout View particularly useful when searching for schools of fish, examining structure or deciding where to cast before moving directly over a target.

Lowrance ActiveTarget supports different transducer orientations for different sonar perspectives. Proper installation is therefore important for obtaining the intended Scout View.

For current setup information, consult the official Lowrance ActiveTarget documentation and downloads.

Benefits of a Trolling Motor Shaft Mount

Installing the transducer on the trolling motor shaft places it close to the bow where many anglers actively fish.

A shaft-mounted system can also turn as the trolling motor changes direction. This gives the angler a practical way to aim the sonar coverage toward different areas while searching for fish and underwater features.

How to Use the ActiveTarget Scout View Shaft Mount

Before installation, verify that the mount is compatible with your exact ActiveTarget transducer and trolling motor.

Secure the mounting assembly to the trolling motor shaft according to Lowrance’s instructions. Attach the ActiveTarget transducer in the specified Scout View orientation and tighten the mounting hardware appropriately.

Route the transducer cable carefully along the trolling motor assembly. Allow enough slack for steering and for normal deployment and stowing of the motor. Keep the cable away from the propeller, sharp surfaces and potential pinch points.

After connecting the ActiveTarget system to a compatible Lowrance display, select the appropriate sonar settings and verify that the transducer is correctly oriented for Scout View.

Small positioning adjustments can affect sonar coverage, so follow Lowrance’s installation guidance rather than estimating the transducer angle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Lowrance ActiveTarget Scout View shaft mount?

It is mounting hardware designed to position a compatible ActiveTarget transducer on a trolling motor shaft in the orientation required for Scout View.

What does Scout View show?

Scout View provides a wider live-sonar perspective intended to help anglers search an area ahead of the boat for fish and underwater structure.

Does the Scout View mount include an ActiveTarget transducer?

Do not assume that it does. The mount is an accessory unless the specific package description explicitly states that a transducer or sonar module is included.
