The recommendation for pole mounted units is to utilize a 0 degree mount which has to be purchased separately which offers a better sight picture of the sonar.

I used the included 8° offset that came with the LVS32 on Doug’s setup because he also wanted his MEGA SI xducer on the same da’ducer apparatus® ...

Yeah, I want to share the way to mount a transducer on a boat by going through the hull. This process begins with the drilling of the hole for mounting the device. There is one small tip you have to consider: it would also help to drill counterclockwise first to avoid chipping the gel coat. Once the hole is deep enough, you can proceed to drill clockwise or forward. Apply marine sealant to the transducer gasket’s surface. Insert the transducer cables through the port before securing the device’s housing in the hole. Finally, connect the cable to the control console.
