How many people run there transducers down the left side of the boat?
looking at running the new one down the left side while keeping the old one on the right
are there too many issue with it etc?

Dirty water
Biggest concern on that side is dirty water from the prop. Wouldn't be a factor at cruising speed but when you slow down it may be a problem.
I tested my 1kw transducer on that side but I wasn't real happy with it as there was a lot of screen clutter near the surface. Fortunately I just g clamped it in place so there was no holes drilled.
