Yep; Jim at BOE sponsors this site. They do internet sales and also brick and mortar store in Stevensville Md.

If you order your equipment from him, he will explain installation. SOMETIMES, they have a CD video of some of their equipment and instructions
Call Jim. Tell him you were recommended by guys on his site, and see how he can help you.

I just installed a sidescan unit - Simrad.

It was not too hard - for regular transducer.

The sidescan / downscan transducer was more involved. It has to be placed so nothing is in the beam. I got lucky and had good location.

You need to worry about trim tabs and such that might cause a shadow area.

Every hull will be different. If you can get photo of hull - likely BOE can offer best location.

Be sure to take various angle photos - not just from stern.
