Hey everyone. I recently purchased a Motorguide trolling motor with a built in transducer with a Lowrance 7 pin connection. I want to pair it with a Vexilar SonarPhone unit, which has a 4 pin connection. I can’t find a retail adapter cable, so am considering a cable splice. I have the pin definitions from both Lowrance and Vexilar, but they don’t seem to match. I’m hoping someone knows more than me on this topic.
Here are the pin definitions:
Lowrance
1) Depth+ (red)
2) Speed (blue)
3) Speed (orange)
4) Temp+ (yellow)
5) Depth- (black)
6) Depth ground (shield)
7) Temp- (shield)
Vexilar (2D and temp only)
1) Black and Shield
2) Blue (Goes to transducer)
3) Not used
4) Yellow (Goes to thermistor for temp)
