I just installed a sidescan unit - Simrad.
It was not too hard - for regular transducer.
The sidescan / downscan transducer was more involved. It has to be placed so nothing is in the beam. I got lucky and had good location.
You need to worry about trim tabs and such that might cause a shadow area.
Every hull will be different. If you can get photo of hull - likely BOE can offer best location.
Be sure to take various angle photos - not just from stern.
