It's a big bitch.
Went with a no drill solution, the attachment point is marine epoxied to the transom. Also have a wire attached in case it comes loose so I don't lose the duper.

Keep your speed under about 50 knots and you should be fine.

Is the wire held on by a zip tie?

Looks like an airmar p66 made for furuno. Great ducer make sure you got plenty of clean water flowing under it.
And don't expect good arch's on the graph, if you have graduated past fishy symbols ducer has a very narrow cone angle compared to a lowrance 200 ducer
Great for tracking bottom at higher speeds but I don't think that's going to be a problem in your case. |

Not doing a permenent install of the display unit, just have it mounted on a board with a 10 amp/hr battery behind.
No skid strips on the bottom to keep it from sliding around, will just have it sitting on the bench in front of the rear bench. 
It was used, got it cheap, still has the caulk on it from the prior owners flush mount install. Doesn't matter, still works like a champ.

Rather than the zip tie you have, I'd just run to the tackle shop and get some 7 strand wire leader and a pack of leader sleeves. Make your own leash and secure it to the handle properly.

OP . . . look up RAM mounts for a secure but non permanent mounting solution.
If you are concerned about the transducer wire drifting and getting caught in the prop, you could also attach it with a zip tie to the same handle your steel leader is attached to.

If that thing has a voltage display function, you can turn use it to monitor your battery voltage as well.
