Equipment Placement on Transom

[FBPirate95]

Can you guys take a look at this photo and see if these are appropriate spots to place the equipment? I've looked at the directions for everything, and from my best guess this should work. But as always I'd like advice from those with some experience.

As long as you don't have a reverse chine, it looks good. If you do just slide the tabs inboard a little.

Check the manual on your sonar for recommended placement of the transducer. Your spot may be too close to the turbulence from the prop.

Agreed. I'd put the transducer between the pitot tube and the starboard smart tab.

X3 - Better safe than sorry! I KNOW it will work better further out, but not so sure where you have it now (or plan to), so rather than have to fill holes and move it later, I'd do it now!

My manual says to stay a minimum of 12" from the outboard. Next to the speedo is where i put mine.

Once again, thanks everyone! I'll follow ya'lls suggestion. But of course, if my fishing results are poor, I'm gonna blame all ya'll. LMAO.
