Mount the ducer down in the fairing as pic 4 shows the fairing face parallel to the water.
You might want to add a few layers of glas to the fairing to strengthen it?

PS: the best place for a t-ducer is about 1/2 way,or so,back from the bow & within a foot ,or so, out from the keel. This helps avoid air bubbles from the bow rolling over the ducer face which can cause picture breakup/erratic depth readings.
Just my experience as an old tech.

This is an option, basically your'e mounting the 'ducer to the fairing block and not the hull, but the block is well-adheted to the hull.
And yes I've been second-guessing the location, maybe put it out further from the center. The I get to make another fairing block, yay! This time I'll drill exploratory holes to make sure of material thickness rather than rely on "common knowledge"
