The transducer ("sonar thingy") is mounted there on your toon because that area is the deepest draft on your boat other than the motor itself. It's also the calmest water area for good sonar readings. You can adjust your shallow depth alarm to go off at any depth as well. Also, you can tip the transducer slightly forward to give you a more forward sonar reading.
