Does it turn clockwise or counterclockwise?

Yep, it spins counter-clockwise and you want the ducer on the port side of the hull.

Not to confuse things, but with a counter-rotating/lefthand prop, wouldn't you want the 'ducer on the starboard side away from the wash? I was just reading a post about this the other day and with a right-hand prop the suggestion was to mount on the port side, so in Craig's case you would do the opposite, right?

My furuno installation manual says to mount it on the opposite side of the wash so then I guess would mean the stbd side. The ducer that is on the port side really didnt do to bad either . thanx guys-craig

Alls my dumarce had to do was open the hatch under my feet and see which way my shaft was turning [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

I don't remember if mine specifically said that or not. I do however, remember it having a pic showing a standard rotation outboard and the trans was mounted on the stbd. side of the boat. I took that pic to mean that the transducer should be on the side of the prop where it is making a downturn so it is pulling any turbulance away from the transducer. On the side where the prop is swinging up, the prop will be throwing trashy water at the transducer.

I don't know if that theory is correct or not but it made sense to me. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
