There is a very very small hole in front of the lower unit, try blowing it with some air, if that doesn't work, get a single strand from downrigger cable of brake cable and try that, you'll know when it clears because some water and gunk will come out. DO NOT use a thicker wire then the hole because...

40 lb will do the job on a 14' boat
don't forget you'll have to carry a good size(50 to 70 lbs) deep cycle battery to last you the day.

If you can use "through the hull" method, that will be your best bet, careful with choosing the location, and use proper transducer epoxy, once set, its very hard(if not impossible) to remove without some damage. but if you must drill and install a transom mounted transducer, use 3M Marine...

Downeast Salties will take the punishment but they are rough on the reels/rods, I use RAM 114B for large dipsys, they are plenty strong but a little hard to get the rod out under pressure(salmon fishing), not a big problem and you can't beat the price IMO. http://www.custommounts.com/RAM_Fishing_Rod...
