Fish Finder Screen Location - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'm pretty new to the kayak world and would like a bit of advice from people who have more time on the water than I. Currently I'm fishing out of a PA 12 and mounted the HDS5 on a ram mount. It's current location is on the starboard side gunnel. I've seen quite a few units mounted toward your feet at the sail mount, and I would like to know the pros and cons to each location, and why you picked that location to mount it. Having it mounted next to the mirage drive seems pretty far out easy reach, and controlling the sunlight glare seems to be more of an issue than having right next to you. But I can also see having on the FF on the gunnel might get in the way at times. Any comments are greatly appreciated.
