3) Mount it deep enough so it runs in clean water when on plane or it will only work at displacement speeds.
4) Avoid mounting it just outboard of a step or strake in the hull, or it won't run in clean water on plane.
Left side vs right side shouldn't matter.

Thanks Blue, so basically the location of the one in the first pic would be the best spot for the new one. When I remove the old ones do I just fill the old holes in with 5200 or should I do something else ?
