Transducer mounting help

[parratt1]

Terrible picture but hopefully it shows the bottom of the boat well enough. 899 si transom transducer. I'll mount a transducer mounting plate first. Can someone show me possibly with a dot, where I should start trying to mount the ducer? To be honest this will be the first time I ever ever mounted a transducer from scratch and the first time I've ever mounted a side Imaging transducer whatsoever.

This is where mine was mounted on my old Bass Boat. Update Your Browser | Facebook

I don't have Facebook where I can look at Morgan's installation ...

Mount at the green square - unless the lower unit wants to hit the xducer housing at full turn ...

Mount at Blue square if above doesn't work ...



Mount the xducer as seen in the diagram below ...


The slanted line in the diagram above is the bottom of the transom line ...

Personally, I would mount it on the starboard side of the engine. Prop rotation could cause cavitation issues on the port side. Notice the slanted line diagram is for the starboard side, the recommended side. The Blue square is the best option, except on the starboard side. Green square will also give you issues with prop wash.

I cant get a picture to upload for some reason so I linked it, I wasnt sure if it would link or not.

Starboard side at blue box. Got it. Thank you all again. As usual, what a phenomenal group of people helping people out.
