Did do get the iPilot LINK model? What built-in transducer does it have? What is the whole model name of the "megascan fishfinder"?

There is nothing on that motor to connect to the Helix 9 CHIRP MEGA SI GPS G2N to do anything.
The color remote is for the iPilot LINK motors.

I had a chance to look at it today, I wanted to connect it to my fishfinder, but I dont have any extra cables from the control head.

You need the I pilot link to connect it to your graph, your model has just the I pilot, which will provide you the spot lock feature and other features on your motor only. You can buy the I-pilot link and add it to your trolling motor but it is around $800 if I remember correctly. The I pilot link lets you connect your graph to your trolling motor so they can communicate with each other.
The i-Pilot you have is a self-contained GPS system that is operated via a wireless remote.
There is no way to connect the Terrova you have to your graph.
