Yes, Doc... That's got me thinking. I bet some bright young engineering student with access to a maker lab (or a Hobie engineer for that matter)could knock off some 3-D printouts of a mount that would screw into one of the rear drain holes of the stern skid plate, permit the transducer wire to enter the hull there in a watertight manner and then mate to either FF-specific or generic mounting hardware. That would provide an in-water stern mount for nearly any FF and avoid all the issues with shooting through-the-hull.
Scooped again!
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:432607This Raymarine Dragonfly mount was custom designed for a non-Hobie yak and 3D printed on a maker-bot. I am intrigued by the possibilities of printing all sorts of custom accessories, or even a whole yak for that matter!
