Mine are between the engines, just starboard of the centerline. There are fairing blocks which keep it pretty well faced down, since the ducer is on the angle of the hull.

Don't put it near prop wash if possible.

You can check out Airmar. They are the manufacturers of just about all ducers for most companies.

Gary, yes, starboard of the keel. Just a few inches inside of the Starboard engine stringer. (Between the keel and the stringer) I also have another one in the rear of the boat, just port of keel 2 feet before the transom.
