My boat came with a Simrad GO8. I am wanting to connect the 2D transducer on my Ulterra trolling motor to the Simrad on my console. We primarily fish striper, hybrids and white bass. I am wanting to see what’s under the front of the boat, mainly for help catching shad as my boat configuration is so that casting the 7’ net is much easier up front. Also for structure with white bass and sometimes brush piles for crappie fishing. What kind of cable do I need to connect the two? Also, what is the best setup to make the whole where I have to drill through he front deck look professional and minimize water and debris getting into the hull? Is there a connector made for connecting through boat decks? The connector on the TM is about 3/4” in diameter so I’m assuming the connector will be about the same size. Here are a few pics of my deck and TM setup.

The adapter looks to be only 2’ long. Do I need to buy an extension for the MinnKota or Lowrance cables? I’ll get the Lowrance cable ordered.
Thanks for the help.

The adapter connects to the Minnkota. So the extension cable goes from there to the unit; hence the extension would be the Lowrance/Simrad cable. Hope it works out.

I bought the 7 pin connector to connect the MinnKota Ulterra to but my Simrad needs a 9 pin connector. Any idea where to find a 7 pin female to 9 pin male adapter?
