I am installing a transducer for my fishfinder. The instructions say you can

which of these methods is best?

Well, obviously, it would be a lot easier to epoxy it, but before doing it,
you can test the response by filling a small plastic bag with water,
placing it on the bottom of the hull, and inserting the transducer into it.
See how the response compares to placing it in the water (just reach
overboard and hold it in the water). The best test would be to do that
somewhere deep. This is the method recommended by Garmin.
