    Photos of back of 1984 champion 184 Super V

    I'm looking for photos of the back of a 1984 Champion 184 Super V transom
    I am looking to see how you mounted your skimmer transducer.
    Distance from the center line of the prop to the right.
    I want to get this right. Thank you

    Use one of these so you don't have to drill into your transom:

    Remember that factory transducers were in the bilge mounted adjacent to the keel just forward of the step in a shoot through the hull configuration. That's the lowest point. For outside the hull, my go to would be Pat Goff. He's very familiar with setting up the Mountain Home hulls. Unfortunately he's no longer around here but is a member of Champion Boat Owners on Facebook. Due to group rules, I can't invite you, but you can search then join. You have to answer some questions on Champion to get in. I personally know the owner and can vouch for him. ChampioNman here is one of the admins.

    No closer than 18" either side of the center line of the engine. Any closer you will create turbulence of the water going to the engine.

    I only have 15" from center-line of the prop to where the hull rests on the bunk at 15" the hull steps down. I will not be running fast but rather slow/idle to scan flats and points.

    You didn't say imaging transducer. On my 210, mine is on the starboard side of my backplate using Transducer Shield and Saver bracket. My skimmer is mounted in the hull. My Lowrance HDS Gen 3 provides connectors for both.
