[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 489713, member: 7021"] As mentioned, most of what I have read say mount to right of outboard....to stay out of prop wash. A right turning prop will throw wash up on the port side. I have no experience with a left side transom mounted transducer, as all installation instructions have said to mount to right of outboard (for right-clockwise turning props). With the bunk board and strake to deal with, I have very limited options as far as side to side locations. It appears I may have mount just left of starboard strake (long piece of blue tape). As far as rooster tails when at higher speeds, I suppose I can adjust so the bottom of transducer is flush with bottom of hull, or 1/4" higher, to avoid as much spray as possible. I will lose high speed reading, but that is not important to me. I'm usually looking for fish at slower speeds. [/QUOTE]
