Totalscan Transducer Placement

[Fishmore]

Just acquired a Nitro Z7 and electronics are old.
After exhaustive investigation, choose Lowrance Elite Ti2 with 3in1 transducer.
Best value (price, function, etc.).

So, now need to mount the 3-in1 and discovered it is huge, about 12 inches long.
Install Guide shows three options: (1) Jackplate and states you will not have sonar or depth when on -plane,
(2) Step Pad, cautions the same on-plane issue may occur depending on boat
(3)Transom Mount, with provide aluminum mounting plate.

Now the big question is where on the transom, cannot be too low, needs clean water ,must be level, etc.
Have to drill holes in transom for with a mounting pate or the mount. Only want to drill once
That were yinz come in - where have yinz mounted your Totalscan transducers on your boats?
Please sed pics.

Very much appreciate your assistance.

Live Well!
