I know of no production boats with the paddle wheel on the centerline.

I have one...

Mounted on the keel line near the bow, along with a depth and temp sounder
it does very nicely. Transducer and senders connect to the fish finder
which, unlike my other two depth gauges, allow positive as well as negative
offset, so that's the "true" depth meter, where the others are "under-keel"
meters...

Go to the bow, drill the appropriate hole, apply the appropriate fairing,
and now you have a centerline mounted instrument :{))

Skip, still working on the boat but having the end in sight. Painting the
last parts starts tomorrow...
