angled straight down...they are on the flat parts of the hull (strakes?). The old one is on the port side first strake up from the keel, against the stringer. Here I used gel expoxy keep it angled straight. The new on is the starboard side 2nd strake which is very flat
I wouldn't go out to the farthest one, there will be too much air there.

You could also mount it right in front of the transom drain. On my '84, there is wood glassed into the hull where the bilge pump mounts but there is solid glass for a few inches between that and the transom. Like I said, you can actually just set one there in the inch of bilge water and it works pretty good when its standing upright.
