Port side under the motor is where mine is on a twin 29 and in every bass boat I own or have owned they are always in the bilge area. They will stop working above appx 60 mph...they all stop working at high speeds.

No, not under the cabin step, but off to the side of it.... accessed thru a access cover that would be located in the stringer shown in your 2nd pic. As I stated earlier, transducer has to be 12" +/- off center for solid hull.
Have you ever removed that floor fill cap for a look? Just curious if you ever find water in there

My boat is in the shop but mine is mounted just to the right of the silver cover. What I would suggest you try is to get the boat in the water and place the tranduscer there to see if it work. You have to test it over the side of the boat then fill a bag with water and test it on the boat floor to see where the readings coincide. Most of the instructions you get with the transducers will tell you how to find the best mounting spot using that technique or one similar. Try that out and see waht you get.
