Thus the reason of keeping it out of rivet lines and strakes which can mix air bubbles into the water. Wash from the prop stays pretty close to the prop, just look at underwater videos of boat props in the water in action. You will see a tunnel of turbulence almost like a tube behind the prop. As long as the transducer stays away from the prop wash "tube" by a foot or so you will be fine.  Unless you have an inboard, your prop is well behind the transom anyway.</p></blockquote><p></p>
