Think about it, you want the tabs to see full, level water flow/contact across the tab's surface. If you do it like in your picture the inside 3" will have an air pocket before the water hits the tab. Plus mounting to the outside you have the empty middle step to mount transducers. Mine are out there on the far outside. Good luck!!

I second what these guys are saying, With the SeaCraft stepped hull you will want to line them up with the flat of the panel. I would do outside like Don says but Ive seen them on the center panels also. Just make sure you don't do it in the middle of the step like you have now per the instructions. That is fine for 95% of the boats out there but not stepped hulls like the SeaCraft, Sailfish, ect, ect,
