I have a 14' Semi-V aluminum boat I am planning on mounting a transducer for a Helix 7 SI unit and could use some help on understanding where to mount it. I especially don't see how the SI beam is going to get past the motor without being blocked or at least affected. Can anyone help me or at least refer me to a good article that can?
I'm also curious if glue on mounting boards like the Stern Saver have stood the test of time? Or is it better to drill holes in your boat? My boat is a heavy duty all welded boat with no holes and I prefer to keep it with no holes but I don't want to risk ruining my transducer if those things have a habit of coming off.
