Fish finder and trolling motor opinions please..

Got a question... Been trying to figure the best place for the transducer and I only have one option... It's almost right next to drain plug which means its behind the impeller.. A good 20+ inches back thou... Is that gonna cause problems with my bottom readings?? I can't move it up and out or the out drive blocks the side sensors 180* view..: are turning into a real pain haha.. My dash is so tiny I really got to get creative and replace a cup holder with the hummingbird... It's kind of good and bad.. It's gonna have to be permanent I won't be able to remove it since the windshield is in the way.. Only other option is to mount it down below the shifter which kind of sucks down to low... Hmmm still brain storming on head unit placement... Got any thoughts if my transducer will be okay here?? Not really worried about a bottom reading at 40mph it will be used more at cruising to trolling speeds... Here are some half ass pix I took...
I have read for 2 days and can't find anything really helpfull...
