That is a very elegant solution for a water mount. In my experience, the seal to the hull eventually fails and the water leaks out. Your design may not have that problem because you have attached the housing to a spot that does not appear to have much flex or curvature.

Should the seal ever fail, you might consider replacing the water with marine grease. It transmits the signal as well as water and will not leak out even if the kayak is stored upside down for months at a time.
