Ok so I have a gen 1 HDS5. I want to hook it up to my built in trandsducer on the minnkota, Its an earlier 2000's maxxum model.

* the "fishing tech" at cabelas sold me a US2 which in no way fit
* the trolling motor plug in has a plastic 3 prong
* I have the cable in the photo from an old Garmin, it will connect to the trolling motor 3 prong but will definitely not fit the Lowrance. So I believe it is a US1 sonar cable for a garmin..
* I was told to look for a US1 cable for a minnkota, but I dont know if they exist for an HDS model?
* The bottom photo is what the connection piece to the trolling motor should look like

So my question is what connector piece do I need to connect my Lowrance gen 1 HDS5 to my Minnktoa built in transducer? If you know do you have a link I could buy it from or do you have a used one?

Thanks for help!
