Couple things to ponder. Generally you can't put a thru-hull too close to engine. Disturbs water flow for cooling and prop. If you go with the new tilted element through hull you might pull it off because it only projects like 3/8" below hull. If your talking a bigger thru-hull w/ fairing block, no way that close to engine. At this point we still need to consider the strakes in the hull. I know that where I have my ducer it works, but could work better. I think mine is too close to one of the "flats" or steps.

What model 'ducer would you like to use with that Furuno 600L? I have the same sounder using the P-66 transom mount. I also have the P-79 mounted in the hull, but it doesn't work all that well.
