Most of the bassboat guys who are into side imaging, and still want high speed sonar, use a Y-cable and two transducers--side imaging ducer is attached directly to a jackplate and is completely out of the water at higher speed (in your case without a jackplate you might mount on the transom up above the bottom of boat, but you MUST have unobstructed view to both sides so you may need to trim engine up a little depending on the angle of your transom and how much set back the lower unit has...so possibly as high as possible BELOW the step). The second ducer is for 2-d sonar only and is a thru-hull style epoxied to the hull in the bilge. They get sonar readings this way well above 60mph, and the $$$ side imaging ducer is protected from any impact.

If I'm not mistaken that's a humminbird transducer--if so you can send the pictures to himminbird customer service and they'll help you get just what you need--they're good and very helpful.
