Transducer Install?? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey Gang! Been a lurker for a while and appreciate all the info for this newbie.

I picked up a used Extreme that I'm getting ready to install a fish finder on. I have the transducer in hand and am eyeballing the possible mounting locations. This is going to be a goop-to-the-hull install. As I look under the boat, I see that the hull has "waves" from age. The low points are where the scuppers are. Would it be better to mount it between the foot scuppers or under the seat. I think under the seat would be out of the way and an obvious low point. The foot scuppers area is where I see most people mounting them though. If you put something in the front hatch area, could it potentially damage/dislodge the transducer?

Thanks ye fishing merry men!
