I always make sure my line is slightly slack coming off the reel, then when I get to the spot I'm fishing then picking up the rod to cause a tighter line, maybe with the slightly slack line while driving out is the reason I'm not getting any problems with mine

Just a heads up. There are generaic arms but the one I bought held the DC at the wrong angle on my RT4, it was too long. I worked with the guy on E-bay to make one that fits the RT4 well. The attachment pad was also the worng size for the RT4 so we had to make it smaller too. Luckily it seems there are boat specific ones now so not a problem.

I've got a Lowrance chirp hook4 built into the boat but it doesn't work in under 5ft of water!
Deeper Chirp is spot on!

If you've got 'normal' hoppers a central mount is fine - make sure the arm has plenty of adjustment as you ideally want the deeper sitting upright as its being pulled through the water and not dragged at an angle (this maximises reception)
I've got an aftermarket wifi extender however only use it in harsh conditions / over 100yds - tablet on a tripod and a clear line of site is usually more than sufficient - just make sure that the deeper itself is fully charged / topped up as battery depletion can affect range . .
As for tangles with a central or offset deeper arm - NEVER EVER had one, and that includes fishing clipped up on a tight line and reversing when not quite spot on etc - just use a decent leader / tubing and a small captive backlead above the leader . . .keeps everything out of the way of the props as well etc
