DIY transducer scupper with hot water? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have a tarpon 160i and love the fast sleek hull, and I prefer to have my transducer in the water. Any of you guys think it’s possible to heat the scupper area and create an indentation for my ducer so that it doesn’t create as much drag? I know the hot water method can work for dents and deformations but not sure about the scupper area with the rigid tube going through the yak and how hard that would be. Should I just forget about this idea? Pretty nice out there lately have fun
