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.
