1st look seems fine.  Only the actual operation in the water will tell.  You might look at the gallery under installations for pictures of where other have put theirs..

That ladder is going to be a problem no matter where you put the transducer, you are going to get blockage from the ladder in it's current position.  Can it be raised and lowered?

ladder will need to be in the up position. Test the current location of the transducer and if it works then good, if not, lower it a little bit more. It looks close to minimum clearance.

Yes, I removed those ladder, and I install Lectrotab trim plates the edges of the transom.

You would want the Compact Side Imaging (CSi) transducer mounted lower than those trim tabs or they will block some of the Si signal.  A current picture of your overall transom would be nice.

Looks like you already have a DualBeam transducer (?) installed on the boat.  Are you going to leave it on your boat?  If not you may want to try installing the CSi transducer there if it will be lower than the new trim tabs.

I like the track mount so you can adjust it up and down.

I like the adjustability of that mount too.
Now how about some Screen Snapshots so we can see how well it works?
Get a prop on that motor first though!  ;D
