Had the same concern with mine since I have about 30+" freeboard.. Sets right at the waterline at rest.. Close enough that the cavitation plate gives a help up.
I would be looking to mount it to the transom of my aluminum v bottom.I think I can mount it through the metal and put a board on the inside to hold it in place. my main concern is the grandkids walking off the deck while fishing.
