Structure Scan Transducer Placement

[novice23]

In the pics, I’ve just sat the structure scan tranny in an existing hole from the old transducer to see how it would sit. Obviously it's not centred ect.

I was considering putting it here and the normal transducer in between the next two ribs on the right. My concern with this placement is the bait pump intake might interfere with it – its about 1.5cm lower than the unit (the intake is on the second rib out on the left whereas the sscan tranny is in the gap between the 2nd and 3rd rib on the right.) Does structure scan shoot pefectly horizontal?

This would be solved if I move the sscan tranny in one space and put the normal tranny where the old one was, but then i'm concerned about interference from the motor.

What do you guys think?

I've emailed these pics to lowrance and spoke to two different people there and have conflicting advice:

1. First bloke said place them side by side (leave sscan where it is and put normal transducer in next space to the right)

2. Second said said put sscan where it is now and put normal transducer at least 1ft away - suggesting the space where the blue skid is under the boat

3. Instructions say - clean water both trannys within 1 ft of each other and at least 1ft from motor.

Here's a couple of pics of mine side by side. Both work extremely well.

Hope this helps a little bit. Your ribs look a little closer together than mine though.
