transducer placement
Submitted by Sea goat on Fri, 2020-06-12 17:04
Hey guys.
was wondering on peoples opinion about having transducers mounted on the port side?
some people are telling me that the prop will cause interference, wehereas others are saying it isnt an issue?
any thoughts on this? looking at the posiitoning it looks like the prop would be back far enough o to be an issue, esp if moving forward?
cheers!

imo
Starboard rear transom for most clean water displacement of the hull in a outboard system.
Shaft drive Centre of the hull ,port or starboard rear (most area of clean water ).
Prop wash on port side at lower speeds(transom mount outboard) Bad.
Most installers will tell you where ever you get the cleanest water generated by the hull.if the prop doesn't generate bubbles at lower speeds and you know this for fact ,then ok.
Trial and error.
