Where is the best place to mount a transducer on the transom with twin duo props? I got a smoking deal on a Raymarine Axiom 12 RV with the All-in-one RealVision 3D transducer.

I have 2 transducers for my Lowrance mounted between the drives and it works great. I just followed instruction guide for locating the best spot.

Our transducer is about 8' ahead of the transom just above the keel. Just make sure whomever installs it sets the proper angle to have the transducer look down.

Is it better to mount it on a starboard or something? Or directly onthe transom? I see some are mounting to a board first.

Starboard is a great idea as it gives you the ability to change transducers without poking more holes in your boat.

Having said that, I don’t plan to have my boat for too long so I mounted them direct to the transom.
