I doubt it that specific information like that is somethign you could get from the list
The best thing to do is to call up one of their reps, and talk to them.
They have different transducers, and different mounting methods. There has to be a minimum distance between the transducers. There are other limitations related to interference with the waves etc.

We have a modified full keel - that is the bow sweeps down in a curved
line to just forward of the prop. How could we mount it 'at' the
keel? Unless you are assuming a fin keel?

Could the transducer be mounted on the forward part of the boat,
recessed a bit?
