Well, sorry for the confusion and my reaction then... This bracket was in no way installed by the OEM. I got pretty sick of looking at it yesterday and grinded it off. There was about a 3/16" gap between the bracket and the surface it was welded to. That gap was full of sand, dirt and...
I appreciate all of your input, and I did look at the manual for this unit, that said it still has the conflicting no-port advice, which spurred my question.

However, from what people are...
As design, you mean the boat? Or the transducer? Because those are different answers I think? Very conflicting information - Its just the first time I've spent this kinda dough on a fish finder/chartplotter and I want it to work well (WHILE FISHING), and mounting it next to the motor that...

Only one chine between it and the keel, but none upstream of it.
I have a 19 foot "north river" style sled boat with a main 200hp yamaha and a 9.9 mercury kicker. The boat was made to have the kicker on the starboard side as there is a welded on swim deck on the port side. The boat also came with a transducer bracket welded to the starboard side between the...
