Or even how for that matter.

You'll need a fairing block.
Obviously you won't be able to put the transducer on the deepest part
of the hull, (the keel), so you simply measure and make a note to
subtract X inches from the reading on the DS to determine actual depth
under keel. (on my boat, it's 21 inches so I use two feet.

My vote would be to do a standard, through hull installation unless you
hull is cored and there is no solid "plug" available for the purpose.
IMO, these Mikail Rodent shoot through the hull installations are a
pain in the butt. I was aboard a boat where a big tube full of seawater
rose up in the middle of the engine room, surely a perpetual nuisance,
and the explanation was that it was the owner's quick and dirty method
of installing a DS.
