Post a picture of the issue and I'm sure someone around here will try to help.

do you have a HDS or the Elite 7?

You should not need the extra thru-hull fittings if you have the HDS unit

Use a 1" spade bit and drill a second hole and use another Hobie grommet for the second wire. You should have one connector coming from the xducer and another from the battery. All 3 wires will not fit any of the hobie grommets.

Elite 7 is not hds. It is either hdi or a smaller ducer for the regular elite 7. But elite is not HDS
