Rubber mallet to the side of it. If that doesn't work use a larger and larger hammer until it does. You're probably going to destroy it in the process.

I put a metal scraper down flat against the epoxy and hit it with a hammer being careful not to gouge into the glass. After removal I lightly sanded the area until it was a uniform flat white/gray, cleaned it with denatured alcohol and installed the new transducer.

Is it shot? If not, can you install the new one next to it and just neatly coil up the cord? So the next owner has choices of in hull transducers?

Fiberglass is super strong so don't be scared of the mallet. But yeah I'd just leave it if there is enough room
