Either way is fine. Ive had both but prefer the transom. You will lose signa when running but you shouldnt be running off of it anyway, its behind you and its too late when it reads on there. My favorite set up is both. You can get a Y cable and hook both into your unit, this will allow for constant reading when running.

Something else that hasnt been mentioned is the type of transducer. If you have a transom mount, its a better puck and and you should waist sensitivity by shooting it through the hull. If you want that too get the split cable and run a cheap puck inside, completely different type for through the hull, even though yours would work.

What other way is there to tell the depth then if I'm not using that?

Can you elaborate on this? Not following since I'm new.
