If it's in the lowest hull panel, closest to the keel, it really depends on if you've got room to install a seacock and the rest of the plumbing that goes to the pump where the hole happens to be.

If you've got a transom mounted transducer for a fish finder, you don't want to mount a clamshell/ scoop through-hull directly in front of it or it will interfere with the planing speed performance of the fish finder.
