2D or SideScann transducer?
Do you want it to read on plane, or just while scanning...
My Reata has two 2D transducers: one is epoxied in the hull and shoots through it, reads depth on plane, and graphs to 25MPH, the second is mounted about 6" below the water line at the stern, on starboard side.
My Sidescanning transducer is mounted on starboard side, next to the 2d.
Both of these are about 3-4" higher than the stern setback. This is approximately where Ranger mounts the sidescanning transducer at the factory.
Suggest going to a ranger dealer and looking where the in stock boats have them mounted...my Ranger Dealer mounted mine.
You may get some turbulence if you mount them on the stern extension...not sure...my images are high quality with this mounting location.
Can't send you a pic, because boat still in storage.
