Hds5 gen2 and hobie questions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I just purchased a new hds5 gen2 from wm, I was originally planning to do a ram transducer arm with it, but after having it in hand the xducer is too big for the mount. My question is basically how everyone has their wires routed for it thru hull. With the size of these cables I may have to drill 2 thru hull fittings from hobie.

Sail mast ram ball mount with a hole drilled next to it. Only needs to be big enough to get the transducer cable through. The power cable can slip right in then install whatever plug you're going to use

Going to use a geartrac and ram mount. Think I worked the wire plug in a way that it'll all fit thanks
