Downscan on Transom

I have been fighting a losing battle with a MK Edge 40 as I have started trolling more while spider rigging and pulling cranks. The motor just doesn't have enough umph for my G3 1760 in a decent wind or at high speed. Let alone the inability to adjust speed. So I've been thinking about an upgrade to a MK Powerdrive V2. My dilemma is that I currently run a Lowrance Elite 4x HDI on TM. The Powerdrive doesn't really have a great way to deal with that cable up the shaft. How disappointed will I be, if I move that transducer for the down scan to the transom, narrow beam and all?

WOULD KEEP IT UP FRONT,CAN BE MOUNTED ON TM,MANY ARE DOING IT,IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THAT WAY THEN MOUNT IT ON A REMOVEABLE POLE UP FRONT

Here are two ways to keep your transducer up front. Both CdC sponsors. The first is a way to secure the cable out of the way of the TM shaft while the second is a separate assembly which mounts the transducer away from the TM all together.

Interesting approaches, the flex tube might be an option for me. Does that coil get snagged on a lot of stuff?
