Location: Kodiak, AK | Where's your motor at when it's tilted down? It looks free and clear tilted up, but may be in the way tilted down. You may be hitting the mid section of your motor and if shimming it aft made it worse, that would make sense. Tilt it up on the water and see what happens to your picture. Alot of guys with plates will hit them or get resonnance from them if their plate is down or ducer is mounted too close.
If not, then yeah, you've got alot of stuff hanging off the boat to the left of your SI ducer. You'll need to move it downward, or if that hull is stepped, put it on the step, which is where I have mine mounted.
Switching the ducer mounts is a good idea, just make sure it clears the motor when tilted down and trimmed all the way down, and while turning.
Edit- looking at your pic, your hull isn't stepped unless I'm seeing it wrong. So disregard the step idea if that's the case.
