transducer placement

[TBarCYa]

I have been fighting with my in-hull mounted transducer and am ready to give up and mount it on the outside. Does anyone have pics of where they placed the transducer on their hull? Pics of any hull would be helpful but the 1800mx would be even better.

Also, when I run the cable, I think I want to drill the hole straight up where the swim deck goes over the drive. Has anyone done this with negative results?

Thanks.
