While I gotz my starboard motor out is there a known location that works, or should I wait and put that thing in a bag of water to find the spot?

Noone uses a depth gauge?

Towards stern on starboard side between stringer and hull side. Work til about 55mph then bounces around

Starboard side, 4 to 6 inches up from keel, in front of engine and just behind the forward platform bulkhead, also check so the degree is within the transducer manufactures range, might have to take a little glass out and get an adjustable transducer kit like ( Garmin AIRMAR P79, adjustable in-hull mount ), the more level it is from side to side the better.

man a picture would be worth a 1000 words right now

I will be out by my boat over the weekend if I remember I will take a picture

OH REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like its near where my strainer is, no??

pull the access cap and put it in their,out of the way and you can hide the waire better that way..p.s. not the one on the strainer the one in the bulkhead part..

I like that idea FiXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Edit: I don`t like your idea anymore
