CPT200 location / possible interference from outdrive

[scoffer]

Thanks.

What kind of clearance do I really need to achieve in regards to the sonar beam passing in between the transom and outdrive? Does the beam shoot straight out of the transducer element (as in a 0 degree beam), or does the signal splay at a certain angle?

I am trying to determine how feasible it will be to use this unit successfully with my given set up before I attempt to mount the transducer and am not able to return the unit for a refund.
