Slow down to 19 mph when you are looking for fish or structure.

I agree, when you are getting g on plane the transducer in in white water . It needs to be mounted so it has a clear field. Your idiot dealer should know that. Now you will have holes in your hull.

You are getting too much burble from the prop blade. Move it to the side as far as you can get and still be under water. That wont effect the image at all.

Mounting an In-Hull Transducer on a Boat;

A properly positioned in-hull transducer offers outstanding performance when looking for fish and bottom features.

An in-hull (aka shoot-through) transducer mounts to the inside of the hull and transmits and receives sonar signals through fiberglass, eliminating the need for drilling holes in the hull.

This also eliminates the need to remove the boat from the water for installation, and there will be no protrusions under the boat. But there are downsides. For one, the transducer must be mounted on solid fiberglass; in-hull transducers will not function in cored fiberglass hulls without special modifications. Also, in-hull models exclude a sea-temp or speed sensor, so those will have to be added externally on the transom, if desired. That said, a properly positioned in-hull transducer offers outstanding performance when looking for fish and bottom features, with only minimal loss in range at the deepest capabilities of the transducer.

One of the latest in-hull models is the M285HW chirp-ready transducer from Airmar. It operates at 1,000 watts on a -- high-frequency band of 150 to 250 kHz with a fixed beam angle of 25 degrees for maximum coverage under the boat out to depths of 500 feet. The base easily compensates for deadrise angles ranging from zero to 22 degrees to ensure the beam shoots straight down. This is critical for optimal performance and accurate depth readings. It is suitable for powerboats up to 25 feet in length. Before getting started, make sure the transducer and the plug are compatible with your sonar unit.
