I didn’t realize that at first lolWhy. It is the cup holder hole under the starboard?

Garmin recommends bottom of transducer 3/8" below lowest point but no higher than a 5 degree angle from the lowest point for optimum side vue/scan.I always thought the transducer was supposed to be in-line w the bottom of the hull. Yours looks lower. Am I wrong?
Nice job! That water is gorgeous. That’s Lake Michigan?So I tested out the Garmin 93SV on the water, it worked fantastic at all speeds up to WOT. The way that I mounted it only gives me a very small center line in side vue and the clarity was fantastic. The Mount worked great where it was on my dash and the admiral enjoyed watching it, I spun it her way to Port seat, so she could see underwater structures an fish. Kept her quite occupied for a while, nice side benefit of that mounting location.
I had to change the transducer mount spray shield. I took it off. The reason was at speed shield was acting like a trim tab sort of. Joel at West Marine indicated it may do that but to test it first. Water was 54 degrees but I managed to unscrew it and screw the mounting plate back on.
Otherwise couldn't be happier.

Looks great, nice work. Did you try cruising with the center windshield open at all? I’m wondering if the wind will have any effect. Mount looks super rigid so I’m guessing minimal if any.So I tested out the Garmin 93SV on the water, it worked fantastic at all speeds up to WOT.

I will try and go out and get the dimensions tomorrow or Wednesday, when I am home from work and it isn't storming out.@HangOutdoors I'm having a shop install the chartplotter and transducer. I am going to talk to them about transducer placement and it might be a good idea to have the measurements for the bracket you made.
Thanks!It is fantastic. I like everything about it. I can see it without my reading glasses on.
Also this why I posted it all in this thread so ask any questions you like.
nevermind! I re-read your entire post and you answered my question already!Thanks!
