Transducer mounting - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've researched this for a good couple of hours and it seems to be about 50/50 on whether the transducer needs to face forward or not.

I just installed the transducer from the Lowrance Elite5 HDI to the inside of my yak. It sits better facing with the point to the rear instead of the bow. I can see that it would matter if on a boat or external mount for less drag but 'DOES IT MATTER WHAT DIRECTION when mounting inside the hull of a kayak?
