Usually if something is in the way you will notice it right away. I have another transducer on the other side of my boat and it leaves a white streaks in my sonar pictures at times. Yours is clear so I think you got it right maybe. How does the 2D sonar pictures look as you may need to tilt it up or down to get 2D fish arches looking good. But that is no big deal. Would love to see pictures of your transducer mount as this will help me and others when mounting also in the future.
