Hi Tango1,
Do you not have a well/sump in the stern of the boat where the bilge pump does/should fit?

IMHO the transducer is way too high.

It needs to sit in a clean flow area. We have a set up with Lowrance kit and, after calibration, it is reliable up to our max speed.

I know it means extra holes, but it must go lower. That is assuming the hull is clean. Also, try to avoid areas near chines.

Try some structural adhesive pads first. 3M make them and you can buy them from such as Staples. If it works, drill some holes!
