Obviously there are some mounting constraints which may limit mounting in the optimal location. I have a set of Lenco's mounted on my 17, and due to hull shape and transom configuration, they were mounted inboard of where I would have liked them. Otherwise, they work very well, and mounting was a snap. My Grady has Bennett's, but I went Lenco for ease of installation. FISHNFF
