side imaging tranducer mount

[Riz]

guys, I am pondering getting a side imaging unit. I have a 16 ft vhull with a 9.9. the outboard may block one side as I don't thin I have enough clearance. if I trim it up no proble but sometimes I leave it down on windy days to act as a rudder. question for you guys. if one side was blocker would it still be able to read the clear side? say I mount it on the starboard side, it would read everything off the starboard bow even though the outboard blocks the beam on the port side????? trying to figure out solutions. I gotta go check the boat clearance again but just curious. thanks chris
