Transducer pole location.
I’m trying to get my boat setup. 2012 Lowe stinger 175 and can’t decide the best place to mount the seelite pole I’ve got. I wanted to be able for 2 to fish on the front with the eagle eye 9. Just looking for suggestions. Looking like I’ll have to mount it on the side Maybe overthinking it but I like council from experienced people before I start drilling holes in the boat.

Since I am right-handed, my Seelite is on the starboard side so I can manipulate the pole better. Make sure you have all the clearances you want BEFORE you screw it in. Also, careful when pulling up to a dock if your pole hangs over the side much. Ask me how I know about that!

The homemade pole that I had for my 360 and LVS32 was off the side on the starboard side right behind my Millennium rod holder on that side. I currently have mine on my trolling motor and haven't decided if I want to move it back to the old location, motorized pole on the trolling motor, or leave it as is and get another one for a manual pole (running two and switch as needed). There are pros and cons of trolling motor vs manual pole methods, although the manual method was simply because I had a Terrova back then.
If I'm not at work or taking kids to their activities, you might find me on "The Rez" fishing. If not there, I could be in the garage working on my boat.

I had my manual pole on the starboard side, mainly because my trolling motor is on the port side.

I’m right handed so I want to have my pole on the port side. I have my fishing rod in my right hand and control the Livescope pole with my left hand.

depends on what type waters you intend to fish . I found that in open water(which is best for ffs ) it really did not matter "but "in trees , stumps , trees ect . the transducer was better on the trolling motor . hard to dodge trees with two things . (trolling motor and ffs transducer ). sold my seelite system as I did not want to cruse open water and run down fish .

We run down open water fish with transducer on trolling motor.

Doesn't work well if you are spot locked casting.
