Humminbird Matrix Speed sensor/wheel installation question

:usa
I am new to this arena, Just bought my new Pontoon...
My big question....
I have a Humminbird Matrix Fish/Depth finder. I want to install the speed wheel sensor on the toon.
Where is the best place to install it?
Has anyone ever installed one on their toon???

Loving every minute of being on my new pontoon...

I have a bracket that has the sensor for the fishfinder, and also the pump for the live well.
Are you saying that would be a good spot to put the wheel. There is just enough room between the above said devices.
