I am mounting a Garmin 4V GPS/depth finder on my new boat. I am unsure just how critical the location of the transducer is. (I am using a stern saver for mounting.) Garmin recommends mounting 15” from the motor and not at a hull point that may cause turbulence interference. Given the small size of the transom and the tie down location. I am asking for advice.

Is the recommended 15” distance just to ensure there is not a turning radius issue or another problem? Is moving to the right of the tie down strap too far to the right?

(Note: no matter how I try I cannot upload the jpeg or png file (less than 100k), so I am unable to share the photo which is important since it will be difficult for the unfamiliar to understand how little area is available.)
