    Transducer Mounting

    I’m mounting a helix 7 side imaging to my 03 185VS. Should I place the transducer on the setback underneath above the drain plug or on the back of my transom?

    Yes, the best application for that hull is the SI transducer under the transom extension and a shoot-thru 2D transducer in the bilge.
    Which shoot-thru would be determined by which of the three generations Helix 7 SI units you have.

    I own a 481 VS with the extended transom,this is where I got mind mounted. You need to check out Shield & Saver they have a wedge that they sell. I've got the mega transducer mounted and it does a real good job. Don't have to worry about getting broken off.
