In the picture you see it mounted (transducer), I was going to move it closer to the center of the transom. The transom has a "bow" towards the outside. This would be about 6-8" from my Lower unit with trim all the way down and around 12+ from the prop. I would rather had got the through transom mount, but I'm stuck with this one. Thoughts?? I can post a photo with the trim down if that would help?

Where I am pointing is where I'd like to put it, just leery of putting a bunch off holes in.

Are you wanting on plane readings too? If you mount higher you will not get 2D readings on plane speeds and would need a second 2D only transducer and Y Cable.

Doug, actually it would be a bit lower. currently the transducer is at an off angle, so on SI, I get a small bit of blockage from the lower unit on the left side. ( Transom curves slightly)
It is flat or parallel in the center, so I was going to move it where I was pointing in the photo, just didn't know if anyone could see a potential headache.
The thru-hull transducer would have been great, but I have already installed mine.
