I have purchased a hummingbird side imaging unit 898 and I would like to know the best place to install the transducer. . I could put it close to the drain plug level with the pad. the question is the length of the transducer and if it would hit the trailer when putting the boat on the trailer. any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Most of the ones i have seen were installed in the middle right below the jackplate.

Mine was installed by the BCB factory in 2011 in the center under the jackplate, now I believe they are installing them on the jackplate itself.

This is where I put mine when I had my 02 Jag. Worked perfect there.

dont know if you have a jack plate but this setup is hard to beat & has saved my TD on several occasions.

Since were on the subject what about the Lowrance side imaging transducer. They seem to be awful long. I have a 97 jag with a 6 jackplate but cant rcall the name of it.
