Mount Position of Lowrance Point-1 10 Hz Antenna

[Splash]

i want to align this point-1 antenna with the lss-2 ducer so that there is no vertical error.

i have mounted the lss-2 ducer on the transom and ask if it ok to mount this point-1 antenna on top of the transom next to the outboard?

there is no issue with outboard hitting the point-1 antenna, but what about electrical interference?

thoughts on this one?

how important is it to align a point 1 gps antenna with a lss-2 transducer - when used with the hds12t?

i read on this forum and elsewhere that it is important to make sure there is no (or very minimal) vertical misalignment between these 2 devices to ensure optimal accuracy in marking waypoints.

i am thinking of mounting my new point 1 antenna in line with my new lss-2 ducer.

the photo shows the point 1 antenna sitting next to and portside of my 2013 60hp yamaha outboard - which is directly above the lss-2 ducer (mounted on transom - portside).

is it ok to mount this point-1 antenna in this position and not have any issues affecting accuracy of gps signal (such as electro-magnetic interference, etc.)?

I've been pondering the same question myself, planning an upgrading in the new year, would have thought your better off on the back gunnel's so you have a clear view of the satellites. I don't believe there would be enough interference to affect your GPS rather the compass, if your doing live structure scan mapping then more accurate your heading the better your images mosaic.

thanks bud.

any other takers?
