I was thinking below the bracket but im not sure how much turbulence there will be in that area.

Any ideas or pictures would be great and again thank you for the input

I have lots of experience with the Garmin ducers and you need to go as low as you can. I have two recommendations depending on your situation. If your hull was an I/O originally I would buy a through hull gt series and mount it directly in the keel. If and O/B you don't have that option as you have a keel stringer. here is a pic of my GT 51 where it works the best. Yes it is directly in front of the motor and no it doesn't affect it at all.
