Just a dumb question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

O.K. I have read several sites and many forums. And now I'm really confused.

What is the best way to mount a transducer and why is it better? What exactly does it do better when mounted a specific way compare to another? Is it all the same and we're trying to reinvent the wheel?

1. I have seen where people cut holes in the bottom of the yak.
2. Put the transducer in a fish tank attached to the inside bottom of the yak.
3. hang it ovet the side.
4. hang it over the stern.
5. glue it to the bottom of the yak with goop.
6. and weird things with grease and oils that I don't remember right now.

I hope some of you that tried more than one method who can tell which you found to work better.

Thanks
