Keel is thick and will attenuate the beam....I would offset it to the thinner part just off the keel centreline but as low as possible.

Bob there is always the transducer in a bag of water trick. You could turn your gain right down and see which position gives you the stronger signal. I doubt it will alter much.

Good luck
