On my old Malibu eXtreme (the one with the foamed interior), I used to run the transducer through the seat-area scupper. The scupper was large enough to hold the transducer nicely, and well below the line of the hull. My newer eXtreme has different scuppers and, because the transducer would be sticking out slightly, I elected a different mounting system, knowing I would be doing some serious damage if I were to drag the kayak across the sand. Not only from sand abrasion but possibly torquing the scuper enough to cause cracking.
