We are about to haul out to anti foul and are going to fit the above Forward Looking Sonar and wondered if anyone on the forum had any experience and ideas about positioning on a J43DS. The unit is the Professional model with a bronze skin fitting.
Any ideas.

A bit more info now. We have almost decided to place the head of the FLS on the port side 30" from the leading edge of the keel and 16" out from the keel giving the unit good protection from floating stuff. The angle of the beam is 15 deg so at the position the beam will well clear the leading edge of the keel therefore not interfering with the signal.
