High speed pickup location

[Curapa]

I have two high speed pickups to mount in the bilge. One for the livewell, one for the raw water washdown. Any input on exactly where?

I've read that 18"-24" from the transom is ideal and I'm thinking around 10" or so from the hull center line. One on each side.

Make sure they won't be on bunks or rollers... Make sure the live well pick up will be in the water at speed.

I believe I have that covered. I mainly want to make sure I will not disturb the water in front of the prop.

I would think that is a non issue since the prop is a couple inches below the hull.

I would think you would want to make sure they are not in line with your transducer.

I hadn't thought about the transducer. It may be a tight fit, between the intakes, prop, transducer and tabs...

I may put both of the intakes on the same side.
