[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 495365, member: 27803"] I ran across this thread while checking on one of mine. I just installed a Garmin on my 16/52 jon boat and sweated every move. I removed my old Lowrance transducer from the stern saver pad I have on the transom and the new one wouldn’t fit on it without being to low which I fixed with some aluminum. But going back and forth and posting here I’ve learned a lot. I bet you’re fine where you’re at. I found out the more important thing is putting it on the correct side of the motor according to which way the prop rotates. From behind the boat most props spin to the right and I was told that’s the side to mount it where the prop was in a downward motion. According to what I was told if it’s mounted on the side the prop is coming out of the water is when it really pushes the wash toward your transducer. Just thought I would share. I hope you got it working good. [/QUOTE]
