Great stuff . I just got back on the water myself.
Your boat should get along alright with the 40hp .

Took boat for a test ride, would get up to About 30 kph n cough n splatter after that.
Put 3 new spark plugs and got up to 50 kph
Put new lowrance hook re veal 9 in boat. Use existing holes to mount transducer, about 5knots and it stops reading bottom.
It's low as it can go on existing bracket... should I mount it wider, lower higher ...?
200 Hz seemed to work best

You have to go lower so the transducer runs just below the hull the trade off is it will spray water all up the side of the engine.

I have the same transducer and when I come off the plane as the water fills in at the back of the transom it pushes the transducer down 3 to 4 clicks its very annoying but I have a fix I'm just about to do .

Tackkleb is right on.
If you still continue to have an issue
I did at increased speed and fitted a transducer spray cover (Whitworths #32389) this solved the problem.
