Here is a picture of my ML2 on the target lock. When in the water the transducer would be facing forward and yes, the rounded area as well as the shadow/reflection would be facing away from the transducer and the tree/bottom. This is how my Ml2 has been mounted on my TL since I upgraded to ML2 and Xplore. I use the default F for forward which is 60 degrees in the settings.
