    Option 1... Install the cSi xducer where the existing bracket is and try to tweak for idle scanning and high speed depth readings ...

    Option 2 ... Install the cSi anywhere on the transom low enough to get idle speed scanning ... And add a XNT 9 20 T Dual Beam with the AS SIDB Y cable for high speed depth readings ...

    Option 3 ... Install the cSi on a Transducer Shield and Saver jackplate bracket ... And add a XNT 9 20 T Dual Beam with the AS SIDB Y cable for high speed depth readings ...

    Looks like it should be lower? I dunno but to me it looks like it needs to be lowered about an inch to be level with bottom of boat. It looks like the wake from the boat bottom ridge would put the ducer "in the bubbles" and not give you detailed reading at faster speeds. I could be wrong.
