If you must you can splice the transducer cable. Not really a big deal if you have the right material. When you cut it you will see it looks like a coaxial cable. Mesh cable on the outside and shielded cable in the middle. Use similar material and you wont have any problems. Just make sure you seal it with shrink wrap and water tight silicon. The easiest way would be get the extension.

You can easily mount your transducer to this trolling motor. Like Lars stated above, utilize the coiled trolling motor cable and the head before running to the motor. One thing to add is a eye hook to the base where it hangs off the front of the boat. Very easy to do. Remove the furthest most base cover screw from the trolling motor. Take it to your local hardware store and get a stainless eye hook with the same thread pattern. Tighten eye hook into cover where you removed the screw. Open hook with two pliers and slide in transducer cable. Close hook with tools. Now you have a permanent loop for cable to slide through and take up enough slack for easy deployment.
