I'd disagree, it's not always as simple as following the instructions on mounting a ducer if you've never done it. There are tricks of the trade that make this easier and not having to learn by trial and error.

Since your running an aluminum boat, I'd first off suggest a transducer plate like this one.

Make sure when you put your screws in to coat them with silicone to help seal off water getting in the transom. Once this is mounted, this will allow you to adjust the ducer up and down and to add other ducers like the StructureScan.

Here is a photo of what you want yours to look like. You want the transducer to be cut in half, half the ducer above the bottom of the boat with the other half below. There is a line on the transducer that will be a good guide for you. Have that line in line with the bottom of the boat, that will provide you with the best readout.
