I just installed two HDS 8s on my 2011 P2 about two weeks ago. Personally, I think the best place for the structure scan box is on the wall of the rod locker right in front of the console; thats what I did and it worked out perfectly. Fishing wires from the console to the bow was a breeze, but going back to the transom is where it got tricky.If you have any other questions, let me know, because I went through some frustrations and beers along the way.Cass
