[QUOTE="TheLastCall, post: 446727, member: 23099"] You want to place it in the least turbulent water possible, for best image. The rotation of the prop causes turbulence on the port side.( almost all props rotate in the same direction ) if you place it on the starboard means less turbulence. Most outboards it’s not a big problem but inboard when your transducer is behind the prop it makes a huge difference. On a outboard, If it’s placed far enough away from the prop it’s no problem. If you have a jack plate it’s less of a problem. If you pay 500+ for a fish finder you want the best image possible why risk screwing it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
