I was considering that location to mount my Totalscan transducer (arriving tomorrow). What side of the ride plate did you mount it to (inboard or outboard)? Does it side image OK to the starboard side? I'm was concerned about the keel blocking the view some.I mounted the totalscan transducer on the bottom of the ride plate for the port engine. It is attached to a 3/4in spacer I created from resin covered oak (instead of starboard). This allowed me to to secure it to the ride plate with 3M VHB tape so I didn't have to drill holes into the ride plate. No issues in saltwater so far.
Outboard ride plate, does not seem to impact the side scan from the limited testing I have tried. The boat has been in the water, mainly saltwater, a half dozen times since it was installed and it is holding up great. I will probably pull it off to smooth out the block it is mounted to and want to add a bead of 3M 4000 around the VHB to help prevent any future water impact.I was considering that location to mount my Totalscan transducer (arriving tomorrow).

I considered that but was concerned that the side scan would be reversed. I left about a 1/2 in space in front of the block so that the wire would have room to make the bend without stressing the wire. The block is a piece of 3/4" oak coated with resin.@thefastz
If you pull that off you can turn it around to have less stress on the wire.
how thick is that block?
Interesting, yeah I did and had no issues with picking up satellites.Did you mount your unit in the dashboard?
I did and it would Not pick up the satellites I ordered a separate Antenna
Do you have that radar installed yet? How does it do for weather? Incoming rain and storms?Hudson River. NY harbor Long Island. Best time to run is early morning with a small boat and sometimes it is very foggy. The tugboats and barges are large and can’t turn to well or stop.
Just put my GO9 in my 210 FSH the other day. Just working on where and how for the Totalscan transducer.Has anyone put a GO9 orGO7 flush mount yet? is there room for a 12? FSH 21
