It looks to me like it's mounted to high.
It should be flush with the bottom or a bit below.
Does it work well as it is?

If you have to mount it lower you should set your boat up on the trailer so those bunks don't protrude past the stern.
Otherwise you might knock the transducer off.

Thank you Marc. It acts funny sometimes so I will mount it lower and reposition the boat on the trailer.

You might get a rooster tail of water when you move down.
You can wrap electrical tape around the back of the bracket between the hull to stop that.
