Subject: Problems with universal sonar adaptor cable and Garmin fishfinder 160

Okay, I just bought a boat and right away upgraded the trolling motor to a terrova. After spending the money on the trolling motor, I didn't want to chunk a bunch more money down on a fishfinder just yet, and, since everything on Minnkota's website said it would be compatable with the fishfinder 160, I decided to get the universal sonar option on the trolling motor and use the adapter cable for Garmin fishfinder.

Now that I have it ready to rig up, I found the adaptor cable that I bought doesn't seem to fit the fishfinder. The head is a lot smaller than the socket on the back of the fish finder. But it clearly says on the website, and on the package of the adapter cable I bought, that it is compatable with the Fishfinder 160. Anyone else dealt with anything like this?

I don't really have the money to go buy another fish finder right now.
