If you're willing to sacrifice reading the bottom at higher speeds you can also mount the transducer in a much more user friendly area, under the floor of the forward section of the "cave". That is where I mounted my transducers. Great performance up to around 12kts depending on sea state of course...
Just drill a hole in the plywood large enough for a 6" round access plate, or if using a larger transducer like I did, then put in a full 11"x17" hatch cutting out the opening with a jigsaw.
Just has to be forward of the hull step by about a foot, but that's easy to see/measure since the step is the fiberglass bump in outboard edge of the floor.
