Any issues with a Hydro Wave speaker mounted on the transom?

I saw in an earlier comment that the most common mounting locations are either on the trolling motor head unit or on the trolling motor shaft. I have a Minn Kota Terrova 80/MDI and given the storage position and the built in transducer, I don't see a way to mount the speaker on the trolling motor.

If I mount the speaker on the transom will it still be effective? Or should I look for a portable, hang over the side mount that would keep the speaker facing forward?

Any suggestions or feedback will be appreciated! BTW, if it matters I am mounting this on a 2020 Bass Tracker 195 TXW TE.

I mount mine inside the jack plate without drilling holes in the jack plate don't drill any holes in the jack plate! You can mount on the transom don't expect your unit to last over 3 years. It may help to put a clear plastic bag over it . I dont think its water proof

Douglas, thanks for the reply. I don't have a jack plate but they do sell a simple mount for the transom. Do you feel your unit was effective when mounted on the transom?
