[CA] [CA11] RV-100 Transducer Placement

[DFMott]

I am looking for help with the installation of my RV-100 transducer. My boat has a deep V hull designed with a stepped transom. Everything I have read indicates it needs to go below the stepped transom near the center of the hull. This is well below the waterline. The obstacles are a garboard drain, scupper and compartmental drains and a B163 transducer on the starboard side and the same less the B163 on the port side.

Question 1 - Can you look at the attached photo and indicate where the best position for the RVB-100 would be? I would prefer the starboard side only because it is a shorter distance to the MFD but i am pretty sure the cable is long enough.

Question 2 - Hull Alignment. Since the hull is slanted and the transducer is flat I see there being three possible choices with regard to hull alignment. Can you look at the attached PDF and indicate which one is best?
