Hello,<br />I'm about to replace the Pitot on my boat and would like to do it once and correctly. The arm of the Pitot is shaped like a planes wing and I'm not sure where to place this Pitot. I do know it must be at the stern of the boat and the arm must be at the bottom the transom. But do I need to be concerned if it is on the port or starboard side of the transom???<br />Thanks alot for any input<br />Mike and son Zach really enjoying the boat projects.

What side you put it on does,nt matter. Mount it far enough from the gearcase so that it cant flow into the prop stream. The directions that came with it should give the dimention.
