Transducer mounting question

[Carpfisher]

Is it OK to Marine Goop my transducer off center, because of the vee bottom right thru the hull on the inside of the kayak. My 4.7 had a special scupper hole.
This is a Humminbird 3D Wide View going on the Pro 2.
It's a SHS-7W so it's a little bigger than some.
They transome mount them on boats but shouldn't I mount it up front so I'm seeing what's just in front?

Her's a couple pics of the 4.7.
Battery is now in hull.

Thanks,Paul
