Location: Kodiak, AK | I have mine to he right of my motor on the step. My conventional ducer is off the pad. I was glad that mine was good to go on it's first mount, but I know a lot of guys that have had issues with it. If you're uncertain of a good location, I suggest mounting it with 3M 4200 (NOT 5200!) and giving it a shot. Take it out, run it around the dock and have the area marked. The 4200 should hold it for you and up on the step, it'd be out of the water while on plane, but if you aren't comfortable leaving it mounted with 4200 only for a day on the water, you can reach down and "rip" it off and stow it back in the splashwell and when you get home, the marking location is marked.
May take a few trips to the lake, but it's better than drilling a dozen holes in your boat to find out. If I where you to start with, I'd put it right next to your conventional ducer. Check the turning radius of your motor to make sure it clears, but mine sits just to the right of my motor with no issues and no interference. |
