Do NOT mount the transducer at the keel.
It should be mounted to Port or Starboard of the keel (Port is preferable, but not requisite), half-way up the "slope" of the main hull.
In this position it will be both fully submerged almost all of the time but will not interfere with operation of the outboard motor.
Tom, thank you for your response. I'm a total newb at boat ownership and I'm not exactly sure what you're saying.
Are you saying the "proposed" spot is not a good location? I was planning on mounting it Port side, in the location of the red circle seen in the pic. No bueno?

Is the location of the green circle the area you are suggesting it should be mounted?
Great forum, Great advice!
Thank you!
