I'm in the process of having some new, and very expensive, trans installed while the boat is on the hard for winter, so I was just wondering.

Don't put the transducers where the slings go.......

Keep them fwd or aft of the sling lift points.. or use a straight edge between the keel and the turn of the bilge and make sure the transducer doesn't protrude into the line. Also either mark the hull at the cap rail for the slings or transducers. Keep a photo of the boat when hauled to supply to the lift operator so they know what she looks like under water.
