I am planning on going through a scupper hole. It looks like it will be about an inch off the bottom of the boat, but with the natural rocker of the bottom from the center line to the sides, the transducer might not hit the bottom. I'll have to see when it comes in. The tracking lines of the boat are recessed a little, so I'll have to see how everything lines up. If it doesn't fit or look right, I'll switch back to mounting it inside with goop.

I'm not big on any holes below the water line, both for my own and what it would probably do to the resell value so that other transducer really isn't an option for me.
