Sorry...you are correct...just before the injection would be best but not always possible.
I'm thinking of moving mine...just got to alter a few things..
I haven't attached mine yet, but Borel's instructions are:
SENSOR INSTALLATION.
Sensor band will fit exhaust hose in the range of 2” to 7” diameter. For larger diameter exhaust hose, use extension kit for up to 14” diameter. Locate band down stream of water injection just after existing stainless steel hose clamps.

Some have mentioned that there can be a hot spot at the top of the hose, just down stream from the mixer elbow at low engine speeds. Apparently there is not enough 'mixification' (new nautical term) and the water is just running down the hose in a stream, which keeps the bottom cool, but allows the top to become hotter. Because of this, false alarms can occur. In this case, they recommend placing the sensor(s) along the bottom of the hose.
