Not saying they will not work, but going to be like on a teeter totter

Mount them on the outside planing surface. period.

Your transducer should be mounted like this: Middle of the planing surface, away from chines or turbulence-causing hull shape, and for 3-in-1, tripleshot, totalscan, or sidescan transducers the entire emitting surface must be below the hull on the inside edge. The emitter sends out it's acoustic signal at an 87 degree angle. If it's not below the hull, it's in the air when on plane. On mine, the emitter is nearly hemispherical when seen from directly behind. I can hold sidescan imaging at 30 knots because of how the 'ducer is mounted. It does throw a lot of spray, though.

Yea, further apart the tabs are the more stable they will be...


A friend of mine had to mount his more inwards due to other stuff in the way and it wasn't too bad but its like a wheel base on a truck. The wider the more stable.

Throwing the towel on this placement as well !!!

Transducers need to be as close to center on the keel as possible..
Roll and pitch will throw the angle of deflection WAY off like the one
pictured...

Just read the manuals that come with these devices, it is not rocket science
for Pete's sake..

You will have to excuse the late post ! Just got home from a Ted Nugent
concert in Daytona tonight....

No "Feel the Bern" bumper stickers there !!!

Rock On !
